As long as people aren't revealing future spoilers from the books, they're more than welcome to discuss the books as they relate to the show. It's a TV series based on a very popular series of books. Some discussion of the books is inevitable and expected.

Poppy,
There is a lot of book spillover to the True Blood thread, but honestly, if you're a reader, you should pick up the first book in the series, and give it a shot. I started with True Blood first, and I think that was better because I didn't have a preconceived notion of who Sookie should end up with. I can understand how the book lovers were irritated with the turn of events. But, the books are fantastic. It's like getting an alternate universe transfusion of True Blood stories. It's especially satisfying during the True Blood hiatus.

I can't believe we still have TWO weeks until the premiere. Frankly, the preview of the beginning of the episode isn't making me feel very optimistic. All the fairy stuff is just silly. I wanted the show to start where the book started and I get the feeling (based on the other trailers) that they'll be working up to that storyline and we won't see it for a few weeks at least.
Also, I want Bubba!

Thanks for the recommendation, Kiz. I am always reading at least one book, but fantasy fiction doesn't generally appeal to me. I do like SciFi, though.And I love watching this series.
You're welcome, Poppy. They're a quick and fun read, but I'm sure they're not everyone's cup of tea, or should I say synthetic blood.Thanks for the recommendation, Kiz. I am always reading at least one book, but fantasy fiction doesn't generally appeal to me. I do like SciFi, though.
I highly recommend listening to the audio books while commuting or walking as an alternative to reading the books.Thanks for the recommendation, Kiz. I am always reading at least one book, but fantasy fiction doesn't generally appeal to me. I do like SciFi, though.
