The Vampire Lestat,by Anne Rice. I just finished Interview with a Vampire, and I was captivated by it. So far I'm having trouble getting into this one. I don't know, I guess I'm a minority in saying I like Louis better. I am, however, less than halfway through the book (Lestat and Gabrielle are being taken to les Innocents...it seems very...odd).

Oh, I'm reading HoME 5 too. Actually I'm reading no less than four books at the moment, alternating betwen them: HoME 5, 'The Raven and other poems' by one of my favourite authors, Edgar Allan Poe, Tolkien's 'Tales from a perilous realm', and 'The Karamazov brothers' by Dostojevskij. That's how it goes when you don't have the heart to choose only one.

Quoteth the Raven, Nevermore.
I always try to limit the books I'm reading at the same time. My bedside shelf can't bear too many books at once. If had needed one more week for Shakespeare, I think it would have cracked.

Yep, read them all. At least, the book said it held the complete works, I guess I have to take its word for it. They did get a little alike after a while: this girl dresses up like a man, that girl does the same; this guy thinks his wife is unfaithful, that woman thinks likewise, this king starts a war in France, that one does also ect, ect.... But I said to myself, that if I wanted to upgrade my poor knowledge of Shakespeare's plays, I had to do it right in the first try.

Eärniel, you just finished all of Shakespeare...I just finished "Hamlet"! And now I'm reading "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Brontë.

I have a kind of crush on Heathcliff as well. Eheh...I just read Wuthering Heights in the last year, but I loved it. I know Heathcliff was horrible, but I didn't want to beat him nearly as much as the elder Catherine. ARG!

When I first read Wuthering Heights, I adored Heathcliff and Cathy. I thought it was such a romantic story. But the older I get, the more I want to beat them both with pointy sticks.
