Don't let Eric catch you reading those Charlaine Harris books.
Book lovers aren’t going to like this one…
The new season of True Blood premieres tonight on HBO, and I’ve got to give credit to their marketing folks for stirring up a timely debate amongst fans in the article 10 Reasons Why True Blood is Better Than The Books Its Based On. The politically-correct sentiment among literary types is that the book is always better than the movie or TV show; and I agree that it usually is.
But perhaps True Blood is that rare exception. I have it on good authority that this article brings up some good points: My wife has rabidly absorbed every single Sookie Stackhouse book (plus several others by Charlaine Harris) and never misses True Blood on TV. She assures me that this is not an empty debate.
A debate, nonetheless, it is. Share your comments below and let us know what our loyal Gone Reading fans think of the controversy. It’s OK to pick the TV show; we’ll love you either way.
