Hello Lisamarie,
No, I haven't read anything by anne rice.

Do you feel like reading our next fiction book "No country for old men " by Cormax MC Catrthy?

If not , there's a side-bar discussion on "Wicked" by Gregory Maguie.

I read a few of her novels in grad school, which was a long time ago.

The Vampire Lestat was my favorite. However, it was a sequel to Interview With The Vampire , which you should probably read first. I enjoyed The Queen of the Damned , the next book in that series. Her subsequent book, The Mummy was so lousy that I gave up on her.

I am interested in reading No Country for Old Men. I am hoping to recieve it in the mail in the next couple of days.

I also put Wicked on my list, but probably won't get to that one for a while. I heard it was pretty interesting.

I love Anne Rice. :]

I believe my favorite was Blood and Gold. I don't think it's completely necessary to read them in perfect order, though the character stories may make a little more sense that way.
Interview With the Vampire was the first of Lestat's stories, I think.
If you've seen the movies for Interview or Queen of the Damned, be prepared; the books are much different. I liked the books much better, myself.
Anyways, Blood and Gold, Interview With The Vampire, Queen of the Damned . . . I've read more, but off the top of my head, those stand out.

-dolly.

I have never read any Anne Rice myself, but I did read A Density of Souls by her son Christopher Rice. It appears that he writes in a different genre than his mother however. Her books are all vampire stories, correct?

Lisamarie,

I enjoyed the many books in the Rice series that begins with Interview with a Vampire. I read some and listed to some as audio books. THis series lends itself very well to the audio format. I think you should start with Interview and move on through the books. One of the great things about the books is that they often ship whose story is being told. For example while book one makes one sympathize with Louis, other books focus on Lestat (while even hitting on some of the same events of the previous book), another discusses Armand, etc. I love when a series has overlap like that and you see things from multiple perspectives. It is another reason that I love The Poisonwood Bible by Kingsolver, because the chapters switch in narration among the females in the family.

I hope this helps. Spider

You should read the "Vampire" series so that you can read "Memnoch The Devil".

What a great, great book...

I started reading Ms. Rice when she came out with "Witching Hour" and then I read all of her books after until Violin"...I was tiring of the series I think...Not to discourage people that are only familiar with her vampire series...I thought at the time of printing that Witching Hour was a great book and her story telling quite captivating.
