Yeah, I don't know what to tell you. I first read the Icewind Dale trilogy as a twelve year old or so, and I loved it. I've tried to read it again since and it's, at best, a guilty pleasure.

It's kind of like trying to watch the Goonies or Knight Rider as an adult -- nostalgia mixed with "Oh geez, this is kind of corny... why did I think this was so cool when I was a kid?"
