My True Blood reading has picked up I'm well into chapter 3 which isn't too bad considering that the book only has 12 chapters and I must say I am so enjoying a lot. I really feel like rewatching the dvds but thats going to have to wait until this weekend as I'm postively swamped with schoolwork, in my World Lit class we delved further into the Odyssey books 5-8 and by Thursday I'll have to read books 9-12. All I can say is thank God for Sparknotes.com as its a lifesaver since the language and names can be difficult to understand. Still I'm really, really digging the Odyssey-its my first time really reading the story since mostly my high school class focused on the Illiad. But yea back to True Blood. (Beware of spoilers I guess)
So I last left off talking about Sookie helping Bill from the Rattrays. Next I read about Sookie talking to Grans and Grans nudging Sooks to date Bill. Then I read Sookie's horrific beating at the hands of the Rattrays, Bill killing them and the cover up, Sookie drinking Bill's blood, Bill meeting Gran's, and then the discovery of Dawn. Seriously the book is extremely close to show with the exception of Jason's explicit sex scenes those are very much absent. Oddly enough Tara is absent for much of the story as is any mention of Terry or Lafayette. The Arlene scene is there, as is Rene, and there's mention of Hoyt and Andy but ultimately it is really close. Even the scene with Sookie visiting Bill and meeting the other vampires is there. I must admit now I can't wait to keep reading and then watch the show. If only the other seasons could remain as true as season 1.
Well thats all for now I have a Criminal Justice exam tomorrow to study for!
