15: The Red Pavilion, Robert van Gulik

I remember some of the Dutch translation word-for-word, and I prefer it even if because of only one joke ("Hebben jullie niet ook een makker die zout heet?" etc.).

Anyway. More nostalgia.

14: The Phantom of the Temple, Robert van Gulik

Hey, I found two more at Cal's Books in Redding!

I've read all of these in Dutch before, so this is pleasant nostalgia.

13: Memnoch the Devil, Anne Rice

Well, it was more entertaining than The Tale of the Body Thief, but I prefer the first three.

12: The Tale of the Body Thief, Anne Rice

Lestat is annoying again. First he's weepy about his humanity, then he's an idiot.

Next!
