"Jesus Christ, Out of Egypt" by Anne Rice

[nalani]

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.

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

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.

Which is why most 'fans' are English professors or College students...

So, no vampires in this one then?

'Vittorio the Vampire' is my fav by her.

Supposedly, she's taken a serious religious turn in her life.

LMAO @ tonks and unc

tonks, girl .. if I get through it, I'll mail it to you!
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'?

ummm... unfortunately, the Vatican made her take out all the vampires from the story of Jesus' life

Cool! and I'd say it's only sacreligious if you wipe with it.
