Soulmates

[mellicious]

About Anne Rice: When we got married and merged our book collections, we each had matching paperback editions of Interview with the Vampire - the one pictured here. That kind of thing is when you know you've found your soul-mate. (Also? we gave one of them away, which I've always kind of regretted.) I actually never read anything else of hers, except some of the erotica, but Interview with the Vampire was world-changing, in its way. I even loved the movie, in its own separate (ultra-kitschy) way. Plus, y'know, young Brad Pitt. But that was later.

The only other overlap I remember from our book collections is that we both had incomplete collections of those Star Trek books that were "novelizations" of the various episodes of the original series. I think between us we have an almost-complete set of those (we were both missing the first one). We still have those although I doubt that either one of us has looked at them in years.

35 years later (we've been married for 35 years next spring, how is that possible) we're still soulmates about pretty much all this pop-culture stuff, with some notable exceptions (I don't share his love for horror movies being the most obvious one, but there are others - it works both ways). Even then I listen to him about horror movies and he listens to me babble on about various things he's not really into, as well.

We both love all the Marvel series that have been on Disney+ this year. (This time last year I was babbling on about the Mandalorian, and so far I haven't babbled about Hawkeye, etc., here, but that's probably coming. Be warned.)
