fellow dork here. i thought it was all hype until i decided out of sheer boredom to buy the books when i was living in israel. i bought the first four and read them in about five days. then i passed them on to some fellow skeptics i lived with who also decided to give the first one a try. like me, they were hooked. it was funny--there'd be three of us sitting on a couch, reading the books then passing them on. nobody could get us to move and it's all we talked about for days.
