Sadly I have never been a fan of his vampire series <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/2639.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":(">:(</object>

As far as vampire novels go I have read all of Ann Rice's Lestat series and a few other selections and I have to say they were pretty good. The crying blood thing was really cheesy <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61b.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":p">:p</object> But after the whole Twilight rage came in it really killed any interest in vampire novels lol. Of course the only thing that sparked my interest in the first place was seeing Interview with a vampire xD. Queen of the damned movie sucked as much as the book.

I noticed I use faces alot :poke: <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f61f.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":anxious:">:anxious:</object> <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f635.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":dead:">:dead:</object> :offtopic:

Mikhail Bulgakov ("The Master and Margarita")

"The Master and Margarita" is one a lot of people haven't read, especially if you're not Russian...

"An audacious revision of the stories of Faust and Pontius Pilate, 'The Master and Margarita' is regarded as one of the essential classics of modern Russian literature. The novel's vision of Soviet life in the 1930's is so ferociously accurate that it could not be published during its author's lifetime and appeared only in a censored edition in the 1960's...

One hot spring, the devil arrives in Moscow, accompanied by a retinue that includes a beautiful naked witch and an immense talking black cat with a fondness for chess and vodka. The visitors quickly wreak havoc in a city that refuses to believe in either God or Satan. But they also bring peace to two unhappy Muscovites: one is the Master, a writer pilloried for daring to write a novel about Christ and Pontius Pilate, the other is Margarita, who loves the Master so deeply that she is willing literally to go to Hell for him. What ensues is a novel of inexhaustible energy, humor, and philosophical depth, a work whose nuances emerge for the first time in Diana Burgin's and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor's splendid English version."

READ IT!!! <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f642.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":)">:)</object>

Ah now this is something I really wanna read <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>

WHOEVER wrote EYE of the World. I LOVE THAT BOOK!

I've always wanted to check out some of Lovecrafts works but never got around to it. I am making a new list with Mikhail Bulgakov and Lovecraft near the top <object class="emojione" data="https://resources.enjin.com/1489581540/themes/core/images/emojione/svg/1f600.svg?0" type="image/svg+xml" standby=":d">:d</object>
R.A. Salvatore

Talk about some intense fighting and combat written into a book. Love everything he has written.
You will LOVE it!

"Behemoth" -- the cat, is quite possibly my favorite character in all of literature. He's perfect!

The story is very well written, both happy and sad, scary and funny, all at the same time.

It was originally written in Russian, which I don't read, so I chose the English translation by Diana Burgin and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor. It is very good, and you can get it via Amazon. ISBN: 0-679-76080-6

*I hear the French translation is also very good, so if you speak French as your primary language maybe give that one a try?

The Belgariad series by David Eddings is my favourite. Once you get past his superior vocabulary, it's an interesting set of books. The Hunger Games was pretty good too, but they screwed the movie up. The previews make Twilight look amazing.
