I have read all the books over the last couple of years. They are entertaining and the concept that vampires are real and have revealed themselves is interesting.
As the show goes on we should be seeing some other cool things from the book.
Such as: Yes, werewolves do exist. They are Shapeshifters. And there are various varieties of shapeshifters. For instance, Sam the owner of the bar is one. He was the dog that licked Sookie's face. Bill the vampire knows what he is but won't say anything because shapeshifters have not yet "come out".
Sookie is part "fairy". That's what is drawing the vampires to her. It gave her psychic powers that she doesn't understand. And in the books...fairies are like candy to vampires. So they sense that tiny bit of fairy in her and it makes them all want to fuck her.
There will also be a religious war coming. In the books a bunch of right wing religious nuts end up forming a "church" whose mission it is to kill all vampires.
You will also find out that the vamps have "kings" and "queens" for every state. For instance, Bill is really there on a mission from the Queen Of Louisiana.
There's a lot more to it as well. It's been fleshed out pretty well by the books over the last few years and gets more and more interesting as it goes on. So if the series ends up running a few years it will get to all the later characters/creatures.
