If you haven't seen The Pacific yet I would suggest reading the books.  I had much more appreciation for the series after I did.  Looking forward to being able to re-watch it after having read them.

I've seen The Pacific through episode 6 I believe and enjoyed it every bit as much as Band of Brothers, on the book side I haven't read any of the Ambrose or related material but I did go out and pick up Leckie's book "Helmet For My Pillow" and really enjoyed it.  Leckie had a career as a writer after the war and it shows, I thought he actually writes quite well and had many very evocative passages in his book.

I'm looking forward to watching The Pacific hopefuly after xmass  , but as I understand it, the two fundamental differences between The Pacific and Band of Brothers (besides the theatre of operations and the enemy) is that BoB followed a specific signle unit throughout the cource of the entire campaign, and even a bit before and after it.  With The Pacific, they're following different individuals in different units througout their various campaigns and strugles in the Pacific theatre.
