Has anyone read Charlaine Harris's Southern Vampire series? I picked up Dead as a Doornail thinking it was the first book, but it is not, and now I can't decide whether to go ahead and read it or go find the actual first in the series. Does order matter, in this case?
Zoe: Jayne. This is something the Captain has to do for himself. Mal: No! No, it's not!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I tried to read the first of those and put it down halfway through. Other people have had more success with them, though, and HBO has picked them up for series development.

Hm. I guess I will try this one and see if I like it. Thanks!

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Gar.
Eta: I just found that! Intriguing.

I'd like to read the "Grave Sight" series, but I'm waiting till the first one comes out in paperback. Or I can find it at a UBS.
I've read all the Sookie books -- they are entertaining, but light. Sometimes Sookie annoys me, but her character develops in the series as you read along.
Good poolside or Sunday afternoon reading, IMO.

Good lord. One of the blogs I read quoted this today:
From John Updike's Brazil:
"Standing with her [Isabel] in the warming waterfall, soaping her skin so its yielding silk was overlaid with a white grease, and then letting her soap him [Tristão] in turn, he felt his cashew become a banana, and then a rippled yam, bursting with weight."
