I'm doing pretty well, just finishing up some homework.
How about yourself??

[.rousium]

Hey guys! Hey Kira! I'm doing homework, make up work at that.

Just popping on to say hi and check the place out. I'm sort of on a roll but it's kinda lost at the moment, lol.

Evening ^^

So, what was everyone's first book they checked out of a library to read for fun? Mine were A Midsummer Night's Dream (it had fairies on the cover, lol) and a book about greek mythology. I was 11 XD

[Demonskid]

My first book.. Um.. The Tale of the Body Thief by Anne Rice..

I was finally close enough to a library so I could go up constantly :3

[Madam Kira]

Wow...that was forever ago....I think it was on of the Junie B. Jones books.

[Ana]

Hehe, I lived 3-4 blocks from the library when I was growing up, so I went all the time. I remember just wandering through the stacks, enjoying looking for any books that caught my attention. <3

Oooh.. Anne Rice. I like Anne Rice. I haven't read too many of her newer things though. I loved the first three books in her Vampire Chronicles though. The others were good, but I didn't like them as much as the first three.

[Demonskid]

Anne stopped the vampire and mayfar witches and taltos stories..

they were getting to become to religious =w=
I wish I knew what happened to my Fan mails to her D: we talked about how she felt about the movies.. and why she stopped writing Lestats stories =(

I was amazed that she answered the fan mail ._.

[Ana]

That's really cool ^^ Hehe, she might start writing them again. Apparently, she decided she's not a Christian anymore.

I did notice that increase in religious stuff in her later books. Especially Memnoch the Devil. Which was my least favorite of the Vampire Chronicles books. I just thought Lestat was acting completely out of character in it.

I read the Mayfair and Taltos series too, although I preferred the vampire ones.

[Demonskid]

I love how the Mayfair Witches connect with the Vampire chronecles :3

but yea.. I really didn't like Blood Cantanel and Memnoch the Devil.. >< the were too religious in my taste .. at one point.. it was said Lestat saw God and brought back some kind of veil which the churches wanted..

[Ana]

Yeah, I liked that part too. It's cool when a writer has a common "universe" among their separate works. Stephen King often does that too.

Yeah... that was in Memnoch the Devil. I never read Blood Canticle. I think the newest books of hers I read were The Vampire Armand and Merrick. Merrick wasn't too bad, since Lestat was starting to get back to normal. Still not back in full "brat prince" mode, but better than in Memnoch.

[Demonskid]

My favorites will always be Blackwood Farm, Tale of the Body Thief, and Queen of the Damned <3

[Ana]

My favorites are Vampire Lestat and Queen of the Damned (Don't even get me started on what they did to the movie of it >< ) I haven't read Blackwood Farm, although I mean to eventually.

[Demonskid]

OMG the movie *piiiiiiiiiissssssssssed* D<

My sister was all like.. OMG the movie is the best!

I was like.. 'omg' you are so dumb! they cut all the gore out and how the queen and king came to be and and TOLD EVERYONE MARIUS MADE LESTAT WHEN HE DID NOT! D<

my sisters deffence "I can't read so I don't care"

Ugg I wanted to strangle her ;-;

[Ana]

Lol. Well, taken apart from the books the movie itself was ok. And I did like the guy who played Lestat. Although he's supposed to be blond. >.> But if you've read the book..... yeah total disaster. They just left so much out. I mean, they completely did away with Mekare and the real origins of the vampires. And that ending. Seriously? Killed Akasha by sucking her to death? And I pretty much hated how all the characters looked. They didn't get anyone right. I seriously thought Marius was supposed to be Louis at first >< Blah.

I'm usually pretty good at separating the movie from the book and enjoying them each for what they are. But Queen of the Damned..... just.... no.

[Pisces]

Hmmm....I think the first book I ever checked out from a library was from the school library, I was 8, and it was Nancy Drew. <333

[Demonskid]

well if you wanna do school libraries.. mine was 'I Spy' ._., I was in the first grade xD
