I read the books, MANY, MANY, years ago. I really liked them too.

I am enjoying the movies also. I am not one to rush right out and fight the crowds, but I will go see it in the theater a couple of week after it realeases.

I think they have done a great job on them. I know that if you want to get nit picky that this may be wrong or they didn't do this quite in the same way the book did it. However, it's been a great series and it you just sit back and relax, there really great movies.
