Also, they made a bit of a hames of the second movie, trying to condense two books into one film. Bad idea.

It's been years since I've read those books so maybe I'd like
Body Thief more now but after
Memnoch she really had nothing left in the tank but clutching at straws about every character of interest's backstory. Her last two Vampire Chronicle novels were at least notable for including Lestat for the first time in years even if they were still not nearly as good as the early books.
Because Anne Rice is a self-indulgent, flowery writer who doesn't know how to write characters who aren't basically self-inserts. After the 53rd character's tedious monologue about how brilliant Mozart is it makes me like Mozart less.

Is volume 1 the first Dredd you've read? I assure you, you should continue after you finish it. I haven't read the first stories but OMG is Dredd addictive. Just ordered a new Dredd TPB yesterday that's the second half of the storyline I just finished and of course it's gonna be two weeks delivery from the UK. Luckily I just got the first volume of Joss Whedon's
Astonishing X-Men with the rest on the way so Imma be rereading the **** out of that till Dredd comes.
