For the voyeur on your shopping list this season, the shows you hate to love have spawned two books: “MTV’s The Real World Diaries,” and “Road Rules Road Trips.”

“The Real World Diaries” includes all five casts, right up to the almost-entrepreneurial Miamites. Every dysfunctional moment is highlighted and examined in the cast members’ own words.

Each chapter begins with proper introductions of the people many feel they have come to know by watching the show.

Made to look like we are once again encroaching on these poor guinea pigs’ lives, the book’s pages resemble a real diary complete with “hand written” entries and “polaroid pictures” paper clipped inside.

But, for anyone who has religiously kept up with the endless drama and backstabbings of “The Real World,” the book doesn’t reveal anything new. No dirt, no smut. Nada. That’s not to say it isn’t engrossing though.

What it does do is give hints to the personalties behind the persona created by the magic of TV editing. For instance: Flora of the Miami cast sounds somewhat vulnerable in her writings, whatever Sharon of London’s cast didn’t say to her flatmates’ faces about their rudeness toward her appears in the book, and Puck of San Francisco’s cast, well — he’s the same annoying person on paper.

If you’re a fan of the show, the book is an easy read that perpetuates the real-life soap opera. It doesn’t offer any real secrets though. And, as the later shows adopted the “confessional,” much of what was said in those segments is just transcribed into the pages of the paperback counterpart.

The 236-page book includes a forward by producers Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jon Murry as to why and how they came up with the idea of changing the lives of twentysomethings forever.

The second book “Road Rules Road Trips” does more than just rehash the two seasons of what is essentially “The Real World” on wheels. Besides just a play-by-play of days and nights in a Winnebago, “Road Trips” is an atlas-sized tour of America.

It offers tips for road tripping such as what music to listen to, how to survive on $2 a day and what to do when your parachute fails to open while skydiving.

Penned by Genevieve Field, “Road Trips” gives backgrounds and stats on cast members and diagrams the vehicle affectionately called “Winnie.”

It also chronicles such things as cumulative miles, a map of the actual highways and interstates traveled and the missions which must be accomplished. And, of course, what cast members are doing presently.

For anyone who loves to road trip, the book is a jewel. Everything from listings of radio stations to hidden travel treasures can be found in the back pages.

An added snooper’s bonus is included in this book. You get to meet the people behind the cameras and see just what they went through shadowing the cast members, often going through the same experiences, except they got to shower.

Both “Real World Diaries”and “Road Rules Road Trip” include applications to become cast members. But, if the books are any indication, “Road Trip”is the better of the two. Each book will set you back $18 and is available from MTV/Pocket Books.
