Memnoch the Devil

I am currently reading the fifith book of the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. Now I'm a fast reader and I can usually finish a book in a day if I want to. It is now the third day, and I have yet to finish it! I've only got 200 more pages to go, but I have to stop now and then because it gives me a headache.

Let me try to explain. Anne Rice's character, my beloved Lestat, is being convinced by the devil himself, Memnoch the Fallen Archangel, to assist him to win the battle with God. Rice describes Lestat's journey with Memnoch as the devil showed him Heaven, explained Creation, argued that the battle with God needs to end. It's a headache! I mean, I enjoy the story, but a million questions pop up in my head! I know it's fiction, but it's hard to convince myself that it's not real! Sigh...

I envy Lestat. I wish I could talk to God, like he did. I want to ask him WHY. If He knew all the things that are going to happen, WHY did he let evil crawl on Earth? WHY did He let mankind suffer? All these things, God tried to explain as BEAUTY, as the beauty that lies in the Natural. Hmm...I find myself confused like Lestat. If ever the things Rice said were true...what the heck am I saying?! Damn! Sigh. I'm getting another headache.

I thought Queen of the Damned was the best in the Vampire Chronicles...but now, I think Memnoch is more intense, more...scary. I actually find myself sleeping with the lights on last Thursday night.

I love Anne Rice, and I love vampires...my dad used to say I'm abnormal...

I went to National Bookstore, and I actually saw that they had stocks of the ENTIRE Mayfair Witches series! DAMN! Wish they'd still be there on my payday next Friday...harharhar!
