[Death by Mirrors]

Ironically when I first read Anne Rice in my teenage years I didn't realize how untolerably bad some parts of it are. I remember I never liked Lestat but that's about it, the other characters seemed alright to me back then. Nowadays I think the vast majority of chapters just fulfill Rice's secret fantasies.

Not that there's anything wrong with writing people you wish you could meet in real life. In fact if I had a dollar any time I cared way more for a fictional character than an actual human being I'd have enough money to pay for all the therapy I obviously need.

And geez - put your food porn in spoiler tags next time! You're more than welcome to join in, but there are rules to obey.
