Therefore allowing me to continue enjoying the movies.
And this discussion has solidified my choice in following her suggestion.

u2, i know you changed your mind and decided to read them, so you are probably on the same page as me.
i think your sister's idea is a HORRIBLE one! i was actually kind of upset after reading books 1-4 because i already knew what was going to happen (in the big picture of the plot). the books were definitely still enjoyable, but i really, truly feel like i cheated myself (especially with books 3 and 4 - those have more of a twist, and i had seen those movies more recently, so i remembered the plot better).
I can't wait to start book 5, because that will be the first one i've read without seeing the movie first. damn my non-conformist attitude, not wanting to read them because everyone else was.
