The only other book she's written that I liked as much was the Mummy.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18353422618806779674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738789189392445732.post-67311366886335021442008-10-01T10:17:00.000-05:002008-10-01T10:17:00.000-05:00i thought the first one was pretty good but as wit...i thought the first one was pretty good but as with nearly all her writing, she gets on my nerves with repeating herself, especially with that damn beating bloody heart in queen of the damned...at least i think it was that one, it was in that series anyway. my favorite of hers was the witching hour, could not put it down and could not wait for the next one, even bought lasher in hardback only to be so friggin disappointed i quit reading her altogether, until i discovered the porn, bought that in a boxed set and read them all but was disappointed after the first so that was it for me and anne rice. even after her reconciliation i was not even curious to read her transformation :) that reminds me, i was surprised that "the story of o" was not on the list. it's been on every list i've seen up until now. guess they didn't include porn in the mix :)prinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389253484590059538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738789189392445732.post-19164267864620613442008-10-01T09:31:00.000-05:002008-10-01T09:31:00.000-05:00I prefer the term "nerd" thankyouverymuch!!!

"House of Sand and Fog" by Andre Dubus III? <BR/><BR/>"Gone with the Wind." I've read that so many times I can't even count. Does that make up for the fact that I could not, for the life of me, penetrate the Tolkein series? <BR/><BR/>As for Flowers in the Attic, I gotta take my licks on this one. I read them all...but I was in junior high and high school at the time!Tanyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310224569736431703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738789189392445732.post-51703259509341693312008-09-30T14:59:00.000-05:002008-09-30T14:59:00.000-05:00ooo, thanks cb! there were quite a few authors on ...ooo, thanks cb! there were quite a few authors on the 100-200 list i had forgotten about. d.h. lawrence, oscar wilde, doyle, to name a few. I will never understand anyone's fascination with "flowers in the attic" that was without a doubt one of the creepiest books i have ever read and the further she went with it the creepier it got, ugh!prinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389253484590059538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-738789189392445732.post-34881210316687395582008-09-30T14:39:00.000-05:002008-09-30T14:39:00.000-05:00They did this Big Read in the UK in 2003 ( http://...They did this Big Read in the UK in 2003 ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/bigread/top100.shtml) .
