Joe Manganiello

True Blood's season premiere was Sunday night, and I couldn't be happier. Joe Manganiello is back playing my favorite werewolf, Alcide.

Yesterday Joe tweeted, "Check out my @amoebamusic "What's in my bag!" to get a slice of what I read, watch, look at, and listen to at home!"

What book is Joe Manganiello excited to read?

According to the Amoeba Music video "What's in my bag?", Joe picked up Reckless Road: Guns N' Roses and the Making of Appetite for Destruction by Marc Canter. In the video, Joe said, "They were my Beatles, my Rolling Stones of my generation."

This rocker approves.

We have seen a lot of Joe Manganiello on the big and small screen this year. A lot. Joe is usually shirtless as Alcide on HBO's True Blood. He played a stripper on Magic Mike (see photo below) and was featured in What to Expect When You Are Expecting this year. He also has a recurring role on How I Met Your Mother.

The season finale of True Blood airs this Sunday so this is the perfect time to share some of Joe's reads. Joe participated in a live HBOConnect Q&A session recently and shared some of his faves. Read the full Q&A here.

When asked what book he likes to read and reread, Joe answered, "The Hobbit was my favorite growing up."

True Blood is based on the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris. When asked if he reads the books, Joe answered,  "I read book three before my audition and I usually read the corresponding book before we start shooting the relevant season each year."

Brains and brawn!

TRUE BLOOD EDITION
You know I love me some True Blood, so I'm excited to share with you my favorite werewolf's fave read.

6'5" Joe Manganiello plays Alcide on the hit HBO show. The True Blood season finale was last night, and it was crazy awesome as usual. It's going to be a long wait til the next season in June!

According to the September 5 issue of Us Weekly, Joe listed that his favorite book is The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand in the magazine's article "25 Things You Don't Know About Me."

Brawn AND brains. Sexay.

I also recently asked Anna Paquin (Sookie Stackhouse on True Blood) on formspring.me what she is currently reading. Her answer? "My scripts. Thank you!"
I'm sure Hollywood is throwing all kinds of scripts at this talented Oscar award winning actress.

Looks like this Truebie will be cracking out the next Charlaine Harris book to get my fix til next summer.
