Books that take place in gritty dark settings are some of the best in my opinion. Dark fiction that offers escapism from the mundane. Interview with the Vampire is a great book to read that is drenched in Halloween like nostalgia. I assume that most of you are familiar with the movie, but not with the book. The book gives one quite an adventure in New Orleans.

There is a lesser known sequel to this book called The Vampire Lestat. I bet you the book will humor you and terrify you. The book is about the antagonist from Interview with the Vampire (Tom Cruise).

I read the first three: Interview, Lestat, Queen of the Damned about jeez...30 years ago. All engaged me as well written and a new spin on the genre.

I saw the thread, but have no serious urge to jump in. That may change in about three weeks when my semester is over, we'll see.

Also, my wife hijacked my copy of "Caste" for a more intense look at it that she is joining, so that is kind of hanging over me as some non-fiction I would like to get into. I am not even managing to keep up with the Fiction, so there's that.

The suggestions I have seen so far strike me as pretty interesting. The one that probably would pull me in best is "Think Again" though the Dawkins book looks almost as intriguing. Anyway, I will lurk around and hope for something that catches my fancy.
