Stephen King’s “IT” is a total classic. Thanks for the read.

Ha, I know what you mean.

I wrote a essay on it for my “If on a winter’s night a traveler” for AP English class… It wasn’t too involved, but it got pretty long because of the amount of clarification required for anything to make sense. But after it was over with, everyone who read my essay wanted to read the book.

Love it. Got worried that you left out Vonnegut until I saw number 1. Vonnegut is one of the best, a lot to learn from him.

When I saw the link for this I thought If on a Winter’s Night better be on there. I’m writing my thesis on it right now…exhausting.

True. I didn’t feel it exactly worked as a “Vampire Chronicles” entry. You only needed that knowledge to understand the characters. Storywise, the heaven and hell thing stood on their own and were entertaining in their own way. This was probably also her only good book until “Blackwood Farm”, which was her last good book ever.

Rice’s Memnoch was a very good book. It was extremely thought proking and despite being heretical by portraying the devil as essentially good, if the entire book were true, it would change NOTHING as far as the Christian churches are concerned.

That book was a let-down for those looking for the escapist fantasy of The Vampire Lestat, but on it’s own merit, it’s an excellent read.
