Servant of the Bones | 
Tonight‘s goal: finish SERVANT OF THE BONES. I‘ve been a little in and out on it, probably because I‘ve read it way too slowly, but I‘m definitely intrigued as I move into the denouement. I don‘t remember where it‘s headed.
Throwback to last night, when I drank a tasty (if oddly headless) beer that my guts didn‘t like as much as my mouth did. Blah.
I also finally, finally started rereading SERVANT OF THE BONES, which I‘ve meant to do for months and months. I last read it in 2001, and while I‘m only about 60 pages in, it does hold up so far. I‘m right inside it, as I always am with older Rice.

When I saw #Bones on this list, I immediately knew what book I would be reaching for that day!

Still playing catch-up, my choice for #anditsaugust #unusualnarrators is Anne Rice's Servant of the Bones. The main character was a Hebrew living in Babylon. The Babylonian god Marduk befriends him, and this distresses his family. He is chosen as a sacrifice, to become a gold covered statue. The witch betrays him, and he becomes enslaved to the gold- coated bones of his mortal remains.
As long as you hate, and you roast in a hell of anger, there will be a limit to what you can do. Anger is a confusing force, and hatred is blinding.
