Yep I'm uncool, but what else is new..... I usually like to try and wait for a series to be finished before I start it, as I avoid that nasty "Is it out yet? Is it out yet?!?!?!?!?" syndrome we all know and hate . Plus I always get paranoid that the author will get hit by a freak meteor or something, and I'll be left with a bunch of unresolved questions.... However since I was watching the TV show, I figured I may as well read the books, so here I am. It's kind of strange that I hadn't heard of Jim before the TV series as I do read a lot, dunno how I missed him.
