We ended up taking eight full weeks to read “The Witching Hour” to give those who chose to trek on ample time to finish it. Would people actually read it? And, better yet, would I actually get through it all so I could moderate a discussion? I was hopeful – Anne Rice is a classic contemporary author for a reason, right? – but all spring I was also holding my breath a bit, hoping this pick wouldn’t alienate all my book club members.Īnd some did decide to bow out of our spring book pick, which I totally get. When it came time to choose which Anne Rice book to put up for a vote, I decided “ The Witching Hour” sounded the most exciting.Īnd then I realized it was well over 1,000 pages – the longest book pick to date in the club and much, much longer than what I normally pick up. Our spring theme was a novel set in New Orleans, so Anne Rice seemed like a natural fit. See the end of this post and/or my disclaimer for more.
