"This is by far my favorite thread. I find myself reading the whole thing from the beginning, over and over. It's like Bill and Eric's greatest hits. All the good bits and none of the filler. "LOL! Same reason I love this thread too! And besides (of course) the shower scene in Book 4, I have to say my favorite one is the post-staking scene in Book 3... see above. Not just because of the action going on, but how Sookie, for the FIRST time ever, allows Eric to take care of her so she can pass out when the stake is removed. That's a huge thing! Do you find this valuable? |

I'm the process of one-at-a-time lending to one of my preggo friends who's about to pop any day and she's trying to find something to do while she stays off her feet and she's been burning thru the books almost as fast as I did my first time. I swear I'm on my 3rd or 4th reading of some of them and there are little things each time that I didn't notice before. Theya re such good books... I have been this enthralled by a series since Harry Potter! (yes, I was a geek about that too!) Do you find this valuable? |

"Ok, kind of a silly question on Eric's part, because he's basically asking her if he's better than Bill. Did Eric know that Bill was her first? I just though of that and I can't honestly say if he knew or not. Hmmm..."I don't know if Eric would care about Bill being her first as long as Eric was considered better. I'm surprised he hasn't asked her just to have a little fun. That's one of the fun things about his character ,he reminds me of one of those 100 year old people they have on the tonight show every once in awhile . You know what I mean ,they've been alive so long they don' t worry about what they say anymore . They're hilarious . Eric is like that,he's been around so long that fun conversation is the only real pleasure left to him. Great quotes btw guys,very fun! I can't wait to see Eric and Bill interacting without Sookie around and then in front of her. They ahve a bit of Kirk/Spock kinda of vibe don't you think?? Bill is a bit stoic in some ways...a little Spocklike. Do you find this valuable? |

Eric is like that,he's been around so long that fun conversation is the only real pleasure left to him. "That's the thing though... Sookie's not a "just have some fun" (that way) kinda gal. She regrets going to bed with Quinn, because she told him several times that she wasn't a one-night stand kind of girl, but that was all she got with him (through no fault of her own). I think Eric does take pleasure in the verbal back-&-forth that he has going with Sookie and their dialogue is ALWAYS entertaining. I love when they dance together... Eric offered me his hand, I took it, and he put his other hand on my waist. Despite the difference in our heights, we managed quite well. I pretended I didn't know everyone in the bar was looking at us, and we glided along as if we knew what we were doing. I focused on Eric's throat so I wouldn't be looking up into his eyes. When the dance was over, he said, "Holding you seems very familiar, Sookie." With a tremendous effort, I kept my eyes fixed on his Adam's apple. I had a dreadful impulse to say "You told me you loved me and would stay with me forever." "You wish," I said briskly instead. *and from earlier, same scene...* ...I didn't expect any salutation from Eric. But he bent to give me a kiss on the cheek, and he gave it lingeringly, as if he wanted me to know he's like to seduce me. He didn't realize he'd already kissed just about every inch of Sookie Stackhouse. Gotta LOVE Eric & Sookie.. Boo Bill! Do you find this valuable? |

It's an addiction I'm not sure I want to cure!"The same exact thing happened to me! I started w/Twilight & went to this series. My husband said he has never seen such a transformation & my nephew calls me a bookworm. I thought the below dialog was so wackily cute. It made me laugh! Eric: "...She finds out offerings of vintage wine & young bull inadequate". S: "You took her live bull"? E: "Indeed we did"......"it has been several centuries since I dealt with livestock. Pam is a city girl. Indira had just too much awe of the bull to be a lot of help. But if you like, the next time I have to transport animals, I will give you a call & you can go along" S: "Thanks, that would be lovely", I said, feling pretty confident I'd never get the call. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

From Definitely Dead, one of the many reasons that Eric is so vivid [SPOILER]:A head flew past Quinn's shoulder...I made a sound. It wasn't a scream or a gasp; more like "Eeeeep." Fighting had broken out throughout the room. I hadn't seen the precipitating incident, but on some pretext the black vampire had attacked Wybert and cut off his head. Since Wybert was one of the queen's bodyguards and Dreadlocks was one of [the King's] attendants, the beheading was a pretty decisive act. ...Just then I was knocked flat to the floor, losing my breath for a minute. I struck out, only to have my hand trapped. I was smushed under a big body. "I've got you," Eric said. "What the hell are you doing?" "Protecting you," he said. He was smiling with the joy of batle, and his blue eyes were glittering like sapphires. Eric loved a brawl. "I don't see anybody coming after me," I said. "It seems to me like the queen needs you more than I do. But I appreciate it." Carried away on a wave of excitement, Eric kissed me long and hard and then scooped up Wybert's head. "Bowling for vampires," he said happily, and flung the disgusting object at the black vampire with an accuracy and force that knocked the sword out of the vampire's hand. Eric was on it with a great leap, and the sword swung on its owner with deadly force. With a war cry that had not been heard in a thousand years, Eric attacked the circle around the queen....with a savagery and abandon that was almost beautiful in its way. 2 out of 2 found this valuable.

"my favorite passage is from Dead Until Dark, Chapter 7. I hope you agree.oh yeah that's a good one. Eric in book 8, after he smells Fairy on Sookie after she meets her great-grandfather: "Niall had been able to mask the odor of fairy from Eric in the restaurant, but I saw from the flare of Eric's nostrils that the intoxicating scent clung to me. Eric's eyes closed in ecstasy, and he actually licked his lips. I felt like a T-bone just out of reach of a hungry dog. 'Snap out of it,' I said. I wasn't in the mood. With a huge effort, Eric reigned himself in. "When you smell like that," he said, "I just wanna fuck you and bite you and rub myself all over you." Do you find this valuable? |

When the Fellowship of the Sun ambushes the Dallas vampires in their suburban mansion in book 2, Eric throws himself over Sookie to protect her from the spray of bullets: When the noise began to taper off, I looked up into Eric’s eyes. Incredibly, he was excited. He smiled at me. “I knew I’d get on top of you somehow,” he said. “Are you trying to make me mad so I’ll forget how scared I am?” “No, I’m just opportunistic.” I wiggled, trying to get out from under him, and he said, “Oh, do that again, it felt great!” 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

Dead To The World Chapter 6:* * * Right after Eric & Sookie do the deed for the first time.... I yanked myself back into the moment, which was fine enough. I stroked Eric's hair, tucking some behind his ear. His eyes on mine were intent, and I knew he was waiting for me to speak. "I wish," I said. "I could save orgasms in a jar for when I need them, because I think I have a few extra." Eric's eyes widened and all of the sudden, he roared with laughterThat sounded good. That sounded like the real Eric. Do you find this valuable? |
