Sorry... no offense. But it's my contention that reading them initially at a much earlier date renders you ill-equipped to impartially determine a work's current "hold up-ed-ness." I would need the opinion of someone who has read it for the very first time within the past year.

I believe you believe it it holds up well though, for what that's worth ... and I still may try it some day, but frankly, there's little hope that it could possibly live up to the expectations that others' praise over the years have built up around it. I'm sure it's a fine book/series, but its prime "need to be read right now" moment and my prime "really in the mood to read something like this" moment have just missed each other I'm afraid. Happens all the time.
