I am going to pick the books up and try them. I remember my writing partner insisting that I had to read them, but when I did try, I just could not get into them.

And I agree! Lafayette is the bomb-diggity! He cracks me up.

I used to call the books.. *The harlequen romances of the Supernatural World*

They were on my fluff list as something I could read at work... You know, something you could walk away from and then pick up again in two days... (I may have some slight issues with *eating* books that I think are really good)

Mitmo got me hooked on the show... She was like.. *damn, you have to watch this..*

Lol.. Any suprise that Maryann was my lotus eater's favorite??

I adore Jessica. Her translation of permanent teen angst into the foreverness of a vampire really works for me. I particularly adored the line "You are going to be sorry when I get an eating disorder" to Bill.

And his whole reaction to realizing that he is now the parent of one sassy, scared, wildly wicked bad girl has been fascinating.

The character development has been a bit slow for me on some characters. Sam has grown but Sookie doesn't really change that much. Jason on the other hand has been a source of hilarity.

Gods, he's dumb but so pretty to look at. He's like the caricature of the gorgeous blond only in male format.

So who do YOU think snatched Bill at the end? Erik is the obvious choice, but I am leaning towards the Fellowship of the Sun.

Okay so I bought the first book. It's a bit weird reading it since I already KNOW what is going to happen!

Not a huge fan of 1st person either but so far it's entertaining.

I was thinking about the Queen of New Orleans Sophia the other day. I hope they give her a longer story line, she was kinda interesting. I am def going to miss Maryann though, and yeah id def end up being a lotus eater lol

I'm not a big fan of the books.
They have all that corny, cringe-worthy writing that I hate about that genre. The series seems to have picked up an edginess that the books definitely lack.

I was pleasantly surprised by Evan Rachel Wood as Queen Sophie. I think she did a great job and I hope they decide to continue with her.

I love this show. I need a 12-step program to help maintain my sanity til June 2010.

I'm liking Eric more, but I miss the longer hair.

I absolutely love how Bill says Sookie.

Lafayette is my favorite and Tara works my last Femme nerve.

I miss the grandmother.

Just seeing the big pig made me crack up.

I'm actually crushing on Jessica. Just something about her innocence at the beginning and now she's turned into a bad girl just roaming about, especially when Bill isn't around to babysit her. This new season should be interesting...

i am not a huge fan. i own the first season (got it on sale) and watched it once. i saw a few later ones on HBO, and i agree re Maryann -- i would have followed her anywhere. i agree that the brother is a huge source of humor. i also like the gay guy who used to traffic in vampire blood. Sam not so much. He so reminds me of the sensitive new age country boys i grew up with. The lead singer in the band type. Been there and done that. And somehow no longer have ANY interest in that -- male or female version.
