Favorite Authors
I think it would be cool to discuss each other's favorite authors and books and such. Like the book club forum, but not a club where we all read one book and stuff.
My favorite author is Anne Rice
Anyone here an Anne Rice fan? She's very popular for her Vampire books, which include Interview with the Vampire, Queen of the Damned, and is also the author of several other horror/occult books. Wonderful, often controversial author, writes beautifully and very descriptively, and will make you fall in love with New Orleans, her home city and setting for almost every book.
Of her aprox. 25 bestselling books, I've read:
Books 1-4 of the Vampire Chronicles:
Interview with the Vampire
The Vampire Lestat
The Queen of the Damned
The Tale of the Body Thief
I've also read The Witching Hour, Lasher, and am currently reading Taltos. These three are from her series "The Lives of the Mayfair Witches." which is excellent and involves 13 generations of the Mayfair family and a mysterious ghost that haunts them.
If you're not a fan yet of Anne Rice and would like to check her out, I suggest reading Interview With the Vampire first as it is her very first book. The Witching Hour is also excellent and is the book where I really fell in love with her writing. You may find her writing challenging at first because her writing style is like no other in that it is so descriptive, but stick with it and you won't be dissapointed.
