Oh, Anne Rice

Well I have finally found a bookstore with English books in it.  HAving finished The Vampire Lestat back in San Sebastian, I have been bookless.  I am still carrying around the book, hoping each new hostel will ahve a book exchange.  But no more.  I will leave Lestat here on the shelf for whoever is next. 

I was in the store all ready to throw down a mere 800 HUF for a slim copy of Through the Looking Glass.  When I stumbled upon The Chronicles of Narnia.  Aware I was now in the fantasy section I made a half-hearted attempt to find Rice amongst them, expecting to fail.  Well down goes my cheap Carrol, in favor of a 2300 HUF fat copy of The Queen of the Damned, praying it was book three.  And it was!

I expect the night train to Bucharest will not be so bad now.

Budapest is beautiful, in an industrial way.  This town fucking loves statutes.  And I love statues.  But they are EVERYWHERE.  In every sq

  1. That is weird, I just watched Interview with the Vampire last night. That's the only book I've read of the series so far, wonder if I have the attention span for the rest.

  2. Well Val told me that after four or so books it is not worth reading. I do not think I will read all like 15 of them, but the first few.
