My vampire fix

Adam and I have started watching True Blood, HBO's show based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. I haven't read the novels - I only see them in mass market form and I'm a snob and rarely read anything that's not in trade paperback. However, the show is great. It's a wonderful soap opera (because really, that's what modern television mostly is), and it kicks Twilight's ass in so many ways that I lost count half way through the first episode.

Has anyone both read the book and seen the show?

Yes. I enjoy the show....but read the books. Seriously. I didn't read them for years, would pick them up in the store and than put them down. Why did I put them down? I couldn't get over the main charater's name and thought the book would be shitty. See? I was a snob, too. And I was WRONG! *grin*

The TV show is more SEX and the books are more funny.
