Definitely holding up:

The Fire's Stone by Tanya Huff
The Tony Foster Trilogy by Tanya Huff
Cyteen by C.J. Cherryh
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende

Too scared to re-read:
Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice
Several Darkover books by Marion Zimmer Breadley (also cause I've read them before the terrible stuff about her came out)
The Still by David Feintuch

Did you read Regenesis?

I've never heard of Cyteen before this and now i want to check it out.

Since it's the sequel to my beloved Cyteen, yes I've read it. It wasn't a good, but I still loved it and keep hoping the author will write another sequel or maybe a prequel.

I still really enjoy Interview, for what it's worth, but it does show its age. There's a few moments of cringe (mostly surrounding Claudia and how much Rice really emphasizes how very young she looks, which... fair, but it does come off a little fetish-y), but on the whole it's still very entertaining and one of the better vampire stories out there.

This does not go for... pretty much all of the rest of the Vampire Chronicles, most of which have aged terribly.

+1

I think Interview is worth a re-read (I even watched the movie again a few months ago and it struck me again how impressively gay it was for the time), but even when I read the novels the first time around, I felt they got more ridiculous as they went along.

OP here

I still love the movie and I'm very fond of the first three books (and ignore the rest forever), but the first one has a special place in my heart as the first book I've read in English outside of school.
