ANNE RICE WATCH: There's lots more in the media about Anne Rice and her Jesus book and I don't have time to note all of it. But this paragraph struck me. It's in a New York Times article from 26 October:

On the Internet she has challenged bloggers who dismiss her, on religious grounds and otherwise, as unqualified to take on the subject. "I tell them it's sincerely written and it's the Jesus of the Gospels," she said.

Hmmm ... Anne Rice reads blogs. I'll let you know if I get any e-mail from her.
