She is a little odd. I bet this one will sell out of curiousity though. :idea:

She'll always be A. N. Roquelaure to me.

Who wants to take bets on whether or not Jesus and Satan engage in subtly homoerotic conversation?

I think Satan doesn't make an appearance until the second book...

Yet in the novel's best scene, a dream in which Jesus meets a bewitchingly handsome Satan....

Hmm.

Oh, no... Anne Rice doesn't make God gay does she?

She better check that with her bishop. I see no Imprimatur for her. (is that what that thing's called? Eh...)

I'm surprised nobody's linked to today's Something Positive (http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp10232005.shtml) yet.

After maijng the Mistake of reading 'Memnoch' I am less tha surprised. The books have been less vampire and more poor-quality theology by the tome.

Why not? It's the only reason to read any of the others.

God, yes. I skimmed through Memnoch--it was such a disappointment after the other four books in the series. If I want to read theology, I'll read theology.

Okay, say what you want. Sure, it's a dash whacky (yeah, that's me being nice) to rewrite the gospels. Sure, Anne's been a bit into theology the last decade or so. But, in my own humble opinion, she can write such lush and powerfully evoctive prose. And, she's always been very nice to me...she always returns my emails, she even sent me a congratulatory message when my last book got some significant awards notice.

Now, in my Anne Rice reading I've only read the Vampire books through Memnoch, and the Mayfair books through Taltos. Heck, I even cried when I finished Memnoch. I got in the habit of taking her books with me when I went up to Montreal for treatments to surgical complications I suffered (too many times). Anne Rice entertained me and kept me company at my lowest and loniliest. I feel like I owe her. I will forgive her eccentricities and occasional literary lapse.

I love you Anne! Thanks for everything!

I'd be willing to read it. Not saying I'd revamp my religion or philosophy around it, but I'd at least check it out.
