"Suck it up" is pretty good, if your going for a not as faggy twilight type book.

The True Blood graphic novel and the book that Queen of the Damned is based off of. I don't know what the book is called but I know it's nothing like the movie...which sucked.

The one where the girl finds the vampire and falls in love with him but their love cannot be because she is not a vampire.

Twilight down now just about every other vampire book to go...

You're joking. I know you're joking.

Holy shit twilight is so fucking overrated that I want to give myself testicular cancer.
HONESTLY, twilight is actually a decent story, it's just all the fucking fangirls that make me want to buttfuck myself with a hot poker.

I would, but-- the best ones I believer were The Vampire Lestat and The Queen of the Damned.
Interview with the Vampire is good too, but you could read the next two as a whole.

Plus, it's just engaging as hell...

Too bad the movie of The Queen of the Damned sucked like hell.

I bought the first book a few days ago. Just finishing off Stephen King's Insomnia and I will be sure to start these books. I hope they are good.

Twilight.

My woman forced me into reading the first one. Then I read the other 3, they're decent enough.

Dracula is the quintessential vampire book. Read it, for it's one of the best books ever written.

Someone already said it but,

"The Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice.

Sure, there is a bit of romance in one or two of the books, but these vampires actually burn in sunlight >: D

Or Dracula by Bram, cause you know the classics are still good.

Respect, it's what I do...Then again, so is UberCream's job.
