Rediscovering the joy of reading with Anne Rice

When you stop to think about the number of hours we have been subjected to by Reality Shows, News shows which bombard you with fear and negative sensationalism... you wonder what ever happened to the joy of reading?
I chose to cut out all the surperfluous junk in my life. I rediscovered the joy of reading, beginning with Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire.
It set me off on a journey of reading every book I could get my hands on. Whether about Vampires and Shapeshifters or Historical novels, Romance or Sci-Fi I'm hooked again.
No longer do I feel bored at break and lunch times at work... I fill those moments by going "somewhere else". I look forward to sitting in waiting rooms or when television no longer offers me what I might be interested in.
The best part, is you can recycle those books so others can enjoy them as well!
This book was well thought out. It is timeless. You could read this one in 20 more years and find it every bit as magical as when it was first written.
It of course, prompted me to dash out and buy the rest of her vampire chronicles. Not to mention a bunch of other writers' works.
This one isn't like the Sookie Stackhouse series, it's much deeper and not about the glam of having a relationship with a vampire. It addresses the internal struggle the vampires have as they live throughout the ages. More over, about their own morality with who they have become.
Plainly said, this one lets you experience New Orleans, Paris in ages past and you get to leave your present behind for awhile, seeing life through the eyes of Louis her main character, as he tells his story.
