Vampires, sex and books...oh my!

Feedback from everyone this week is that we are all willing to descend into the dark, sexy, improbable world of Sookie’s vampire chronicles.

Thank you for topics this week. We are pleased that V-Town Book Club is quickly becoming a fun yet debased coterie.

Because most of us are waiting for our books to arrive, here are some discussion topics based on HBO’s True Blood (no spoilers please, some of us haven't seen season 3):

True Blood title is a play on the word “Blood”:

• About vampires drinking blood, humans drinking V
• About vampires being the only True Blood, which Godric questions and tries to atone
• About lineage, in the series vampires (Bill) honor or (Jessica!) despise their human lineage (bloodline) and also their vampire lineage: Makers & Kings & Queens
• Ray Bradbury often spoke about how most of his novels resulted from a habit of playing an early morning game of word association while he was still freshly connected to his dreams. Is the evolution of the vampire myth a result of significant word associations to “blood”?

And now some topics that descend into pure, bloody debauchery:

• If a vampire gets a hair cut could they ever grow it out? Or do they need to cut their hair every day? Erik gets a hair cut on the show but his hair doesn’t seem to grow back the next day. However Jessica's hymen keeps growing back…
• Season 1 was excellent because of the massive sexual tension of wanting to live vicariously through True Blood and fuck a vampire who doesn't want to kill us, which is a different sexual tension than wanting to have sex with a vampire who does want to kill us.
• And more importantly, can a male vampire ejaculate?

Thank you Kim and Dalila! We will talk about the complexities of vampire intercourse and vampire anatomy during a book club meeting where the wine will be flowing!

Sucking on another topic, this economy is draining many of us dry right now. If you would like to participate in Book Club but can’t justify the price of this series send an email and we’ll arrange a book-share program.

Excellent topics so far showing that discussion boundaries extend far and wide.

***Thank you for the blog title Gina!!!
