[CFH]

I must have wathced band of brothers through well over 10 times now... hadn't for a few years. Just lent it to my girlfriends parents to watch, had the first episode on with them last night and I wanted to take the boxed set home and watch!

Anybody read the book?

The book is great. Far better than the series IMO. I read the book long before they made it into a tv show. I actually have the memoirs of a couple of the guys in Easy Company. I can't remember how many, but I know I have Dick Winters and Kenyon Websters books. I also have a fair number of Steven Ambrose's other works, he's far from objective but I love his use of oral histories.
