One of the extremely few instances where I actually prefer the adaptation to the original source though.

Isn't that the truth. I started watching True Blood purely for Anna Paquin's breasts but found it to be a fun little popcorn show. Sex, violence, humor. Between Season 1 and 2 I read the whole book series and the changes they've made from the source material have been amazing. Also, it's enough of a change that even having read the books I'm not entirely sure what is going to happen in the TV series.
As for what I'm currently reading, I've got a few I'm juggling:
Rabbi Jesus by Bruce Chilton
The Structure of Evolutionary Theory by Stephen Jay Gould. I've had this one on my list for a year or more. It's incredibly dense reading. It takes a while to process.
And for my little fluff book to take breaks from the heavy hitting, I'm in the middle of
Prime Directive by Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens. I've read it a few times now. It's just a good Trek story.
