The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
SwordofCharity:
I had lost my way as a reader, having been and SF/Fantasy fan as a teenager. I was reading chick lit, biographies and occasional history books. I saw the previews and Harry just looked cool. I actually read the third book first.
I know it sounds weird, but I've been let down before by authors who had terrific first books, then the next ones were just not quite there. I have to say Harry gets better with every book. (and they were really good to start with.)

well, i hadnt heard of the dresden files or jim butcher before seeing the show. somewhere in the middle of the series, i discovered that there were books about the dresden files. i DONT read books! i watch tv!! but i discovered that the audio books were available. so i got a copy storm front. didnt listen to it. continued watching the show. when the show ended, i wanted more! so i started listening to storm front. since then i have listened to fool moon, grave peril, and summer knight. like i said, i dont read books. i dont even like paper! but i just finished listening to summer knight about half an hour ago. i dont know why the audio books take so long to be released but i CANT WAIT, so .... about 15 mins ago i purchased books 5-8 on amazon.com.

I saw the final episode and caught Jim Butcher author and next day bought all the books through the new hardback. I can hardly wait for the next one. It kind of ruins you to be able to read a whole bunch at once and then must wait. Love the plots, characters and how intricate it all is.

Haven't seen the show, first came across Jim via his Alera books. Then there was an outbreak of mentions of the TV show over on the Lois Bujold list, so when I found the books all together in Waterstones I bought the first one. Went back the next week and bought all the rest they had!

I didnt know about the books till the other day I was talking about good shows to watch on TV and someone said if you like the show you will love the books so I had the book store pull the first two books to add to the collection of books Im reading right now. I read the first little bit of one chapter on Jims site and I have to say I will love the books as much as I do the show. Im just mad I have to read ten books as fast as I can along with my college text books. I guess a lot of late night reading (not text books) ahead of me.
