That was my experience, as well. I still go back and re-read many of the books I enjoyed back then. In many cases, they are just as enjoyable, sometimes in ways I didn't appreciate back then. In other cases (and I include the Covenant and Shannara series in these), the writing has so many problems that it just gets in the way of my enjoying the stories. I guess I've gotten pickier about style over the years.
