I've also been thinking of getting into D&D, but it'll be a year before I'll have the time due to the "career retraining" (aka school) I'm currently in.

In the past I've tried RP games at Origins and didn't like them. But in recent years I've been reading a buncha Forgotten Realms novels and have really gotten hooked on that whole universe.

The RA Salvatore novel "Spine of the World" has a 16-pg "Quickplay" D&D adventure at the end, presumably to give people like me (and maybe you too) a small taste of the D&D universe.

I'd like to get into D&D eventually. I'm not getting any younger, and it sounds like fun. I'm getting too old to hang around bars. Spending an evening with a group of fellow gaming geeks living in a fantasy world sounds quite appealing. That whole escapism thing.
