Even worse than not reading the books IMO is the fact that he turned down Jo's offer to brief him on DD. (AFAIK the only actors who took advantage of her offer were Rickman and Coltraine.)
I don't know whether he actually read the series with his grandchildren but they were definitely the reason he accepted the role.
