Enjoy Some Steamed Rice

Anne Rice recently flipped out on Amazon.Com, writing an egomaniacal rant in response to customer reviews of Blood Canticle:

First off, let me say that this is addressed only to some of you, who have posted outrageously negative comments here, and not to all. You are interrogating this text from the wrong perspective. Indeed, you aren't even reading it. You are projecting your own limitations on it. And you are giving a whole new meaning to the words "wide readership." And you have strained my Dickensean principles to the max. I'm justifiably proud of being read by intellectual giants and waitresses in trailer parks, in fact, I love it, but who in the world are you?

Her personal assessment of the book: Five stars.
