I believe I read an article about illiteracy that said people who were illiterate into adulthood have far better hand writing than those who learned at a young age. I believe it’s because they valued it more and tended to treat it as a ‘gift’ or ‘art’.

I actually adore reading books from Lestat’s point of view because he is in all seriousness the most honest narrator I’ve ever encountered in fiction. He couldn’t care less if something he says is so embarrassing the reader (meeeeeee) has to put down the book and cover their face for five entire minutes before they can pick it up again. He owns it and everyone, everyone (from readers to characters) loves him for it.
And it’s actually pretty refreshing to come out of Interview with a Vampire into The Vampire Lestat. It’s literally like going from Louis lying to your face while he cries and blows his nose on your t shirt to Lestat bursting through your bedroom door with a full chorus behind him performing Uptown Funk.

Awww thank u for the compliments! I’m such a successful drug dealer, addicted a fresh victim to our beloved drug of choice, lovable dysfunctional vampires ♥u♥
shut up Claudia you know you love it you helped him WRITE that monologue…
Yes, I read all the books. Should you read all the books?
Well, if, for example, you’re not so interested in Armand as a character, I would recommend skipping TVA, bc it’s largely his story. BUT, you may miss good moments with other characters that you do like. Same goes for the other books past TVA.
Short answer is: give it all a chance, skim if you must, and decide for yourself, it’s meant to be fun, it’s not a religion, there are no chants to memorize, you will not be quizzed next Monday ;]
