Just started "The Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice.

"Interview with the Vampire", "The Vampire Lestat", and "Queen of the Damned".

Just started the first one. It really sucks you in - no pun intended.

I've never read anything by Anne Rice. I'm liking it alot though. And I never saw the movie either. The one with stupid Tom Cruise in it. But I'm sure I will after I read the book. Mr. Brad makes up for the idiot. And maybe in my willing suspension of disbelief during the film I can get past my personal revulsion for Tom.

I'm making a commitment to read more. Some everyday, no matter what, even if it is just a page or two. I remember when Cathy told me to try Barnes and Noble instead of some of my other vices. Still like my vices, but I'm wanting to read alot more. Royce just got a book by Somerset Marm. Did I spell that right? Might have to get that one too. I always get so ahead of myself when I start reading. Sometimes even start a book before I've finished another. I hate that.

There is so so much out there. So much. I have this great desire to open myself up to so much in the world. And I still need to internalize. Reading is the perfect dance of both of those.

One question - can someone who saw the movie tell me which character Tom plays, and which one Brad plays? Is Tom Lestat? Or Louis? Who is Brad? And were there homosexual undercurrents in the film too? Just curious.
