anyone else read, or reading, this book?

I picked it up a few weeks ago ... am only on chapter 10 at the moment so I'm not sure if I really like it or not. It's ... slow; not exactly what I expected from Anne Rice. It could be my lack of time to sit and read but normally, if I'm *that* into a book, I'll make time .. or basically just put off everything else that I have to do because I can't stop reading. This one I just read when I feel like it.

Anyone else have any thoughts on the book?
 
Anne Rice is the only author I know of that can yammer on for a page and a half about the brocade patterned material on a footstool. If you get through it let me know.
 
I ran out of interest with Anne Rice several years ago. Loved her Vampire Chronicles & the Mayfairs but as she added to those stories, it got drier & more boring with each passing addition.

Hemmingway could also prattle endlessly about piffle. A real literary paint-dry-athon.

Right now, it's sitting on my lil plastic chest-of-drawers in my bathroom ... do you think it's consider sacreligious to use that book as a 'bathroom reader'? :D

'Vittorio the Vampire' is my fav by her.
