High five reading the second Harry Potter book first! Somehow I didn't know it was the second book, though, and found it confusing.

There are some series that need to be read in order, and that's a valid choice because hey, I could do without books feeling like they need to recap all the time, but I'm really guessing that Anne Rice isn't one of them. And if it is one of those series and you're not stamping it with big numbers to let people know, the fail is on you.
