The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?

Our evil plan is succeeding! Soon we shall realize our insidious goal of spreading literacy and bibliophile-ism through the nation via quality television programming!
LET THE BRAINWASHING...erm...CONTINUE!

It's only brainwashing if the subject has a dirty mind!

I saw the show first, and then another "on-line" friend-a woman who I think might be in her 50's, recommended the books to me-a woman in her "40's" (though I think someone made a mistake on my birth certificate as I feel much younger than that!) Anyway, I think these books are fantastic. I try to explain them to people who've never heard of Dresdin as "Harry Potter for adults" in that the imagination and character development, not to mention plotting, is so well done. And you know, another thing about these books is that they are pretty-much "clean". I think I could just about be comfortable recommending them to my teenage nieces and nephews (with a few scene exeptions of course.) Glad there's a website for Butcher, he is certainly a worthy writer!

Actually, I discovered the books before the TV series...

Loved the show. Mad that Scifi channel cancelled it. BAD, BAD, stupid decision!!!! (Since I can't turn a trashcan into slag, this is the only way I can vent my frustration.) I started reading the books two weeks ago and have read through White Night. Have I lost sleep? Yes. Was it worth it? Yes.

This is, of course, par for the course regarding Sci-Fi's mind-numbing skill in defecating on its own dinner plate.
If something works, it has (if they're lucky) one half-season in which to be judged as worth keeping...sometimes, they have a show that inspires loyalty of a size not seen since Trek (Farscape/Stargate SG-1, anyone?), and they STILL cancel it!!!
Why? Because several sources have said that Sci-Fi's CEO positively HATES science-fiction; the decision to put wrestling on the Sci-Fi Channel was ranking right up there with offering Roseanne Barr a singing gig! Wrestling and Sci-Fi go together like a peanut-butter and battery-acid sandwich; truly, the demented vision of someone who hasn't the intellect of a lobotomized coconut!
