I didn't and I haven't!
(I didn't fall in love with Drizzt (possibly due to pronounciation reasons) and I haven't read anything by R.A.Salvatorre (apart from one or two blurbs in adverts for his books that I might have noticed a few words of) but have heard Drizzt fans say that their idea of a good story was a brain/arse switch that realy upset an illithid, in my opinion that falls in to the Pratchettesque humourous line and sort of makes a joke out of the Forgotten Realms in general (as if Ed Greenwood hadn't already done that with wild magic in general (one of our local players added another one thousand and four entries to the wild magic table, one of wich was "caster cannot use any other magic until they have submited another entry for this table) which is good because I personally prefer Greyhawk and Ravenloft to the Forgotten Realms, EVEN WHEN DRUNK!!!!!!)
However, if anyone lends me one of his books and I actually like them I might be persuaded to read some more and maybe even buy some. We shall see (although it does sound a little powergamed to ****) since I prefer gritty fantasy with a slight realistic streak (swords do rust, people don't even try to swim in chainmail, let alone plate etc).
