The books are actually quite good and give you the material that allowed Anthony Hopkins to portray such a great character.

The bad movies ("Red Dragon", "Hannibal") should be avoided.

I started "Hannibal Rising" (the 4th novel) with some trepidation after the so-so "Hannibal" movie, but got caught up in novel and the character.

So if you are going to read - do the novels in order:
  1. Red Dragon
  2. The Silence of the Lambs
  3. Hannibal
  4. Hannibal Rising

You will thank us later.
