The first ignited my love for reading the the second changed how I look at life.
The series is great and worth a read, even for your superior reading level.
I read it again for fun (and 'cause I decided I ought to complete the hardcover collection I keep porting around as I move) last year, first time doing so since I was a child (maybe a young teen was the last time?)
