Found the entire series of Thomas Harris's Hannibal Lector at a garage sale Friday, and I've been reading through it! I'm done with Red Dragon, about halfway through Silence of the Lambs, and I have to say, they are pretty durn good so far!
Score! :)

I need to read those in order someday. Think I have most of the books. Read Hannibal twice, but none of the other ones yet.

Great series all the way thru. I keep hoping he'll write a continuation of the series someday but I don't think it's going to happen. I think the way he ended the series was brilliant.

I'm almost all the way through Hannibal now, and have to say, I agree. Also, it's uncanny how well the movies stuck with the novels so far. o_O

Innocence is the only Koontz book (so far) I've been unable to finish.
It's actually growing on me a little.
Still feels wishy washy at times, but it has sunk it's hooks in just far enough to make me want to know what is happening and why....
If the wishy washy factor increases though, I may be tempted to wriggle free from said hook and google the plot instead :a24:

Taking a short break in my Joanne Harris book because i felt the need for a factbook so i started The Vasa Daughters. The founder of the modern swedens kingdom, Gustav Vasa, had nine grownup children and we know quite alot of the four boys (three of them later became kings) but we don't know so much of the five girls. So this book is about them, Katarina, Cecilia, Anna, Sofia and Elisabet Vasa. They were born between 1539 and 1549. The only one i know a bit more about is Cecilia but only cause she caused she was behind one of the biggest royal scandals in swedish history. At her sisters wedding reception she sneaked away with the bridegrooms younger brother and was caught in the act in her bedroom. Unmarried (or married for that matter) princesses could not do such things. Thescandal rocked the kingdom for her bad behaviour was of course a reflection of her upbringing which put both the king and queen in bad light. I have always liked cecilia but i have always had a weak spot for rebels. Cecilia matured (or learned to keep it quiet) later, she was only 18 at the time , and later in life impressed Elisabeth I of England (which was not easy to do, earlier her brother, johan, had failed and became laughed at by Elisabeth but Cecilia connected with her) and became friendly with her. Thats Cecilia but the rest i dont know much about so will be interesting.
