The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
Pennthor:
I read the books long before I watched the TV series. Got into them shortly before grave peril came out and meet another fan who was anxiously waiting for the releases and sent Jim some fan e-mail too. Have been hooked ever since and enjoy the Codex greatly as well (bonus: name was used twice in the books as Tavi's single knight ignus in CF and waterhealer in AF)
jinx:
I started with the tv show from the first episode, and when the season ended I went out and bought Storm Front. I loved it so much I went back and bought all of the rest and read them all in about two weeks. I'm re-reading them all a little slower now, trying to stretch them out until the next one comes out. I've always been a fan of urban fantasy, and I can't believe it took me so long to discover the joy that is Harry.
Please sir, can I have somemore?

I am a big fan of the Harry Potter books and was discussing them with others on another forum and someone mentioned The Dresden Files. I asked what The Dresden Files was about and they said it is basically about wizards and other supernatural stuff and the main character, Harry Dreden was a private investigator who is also a powerful wizard and solves crimes that often have supernatural stuff involved. I was vaguely curious after that but was not even aware that there was a series on Sci-Fi until a week ago when I saw the series for rent at a video store. Seeing them reminded me of when I was told about The Dresden Files initially, so I picked them up. I liked what I saw and so did my wife and 2 kids. I went to Walden Books and picked up Dead Beat and Grave Peril. I am reading Dead Beat right now and I think it is great! I have also been on Wikipedia researching all the characters and associations in the series so I can be up to date and not get confused since I am a late-comer to the world of Dresden.

I had been hearing about Jim Butcher and the Dresden books for years, but until I watched the series I just hadn't happened to pick up any of the books.
Now, they're an addiction :) I've churned through the entire series in the last fw months, and just started White Knight.
Quoth my wife: "It's like those books are magnetic. If you're within sight of one you MUST pick it up and read it"
I've been a scifi / fantas fan all my life - but honestly I haven't had this much fun just rabidly devouring a series in more years than I care to think about ;D
Looking forward to more!

Yeah, I'm the same way. I picked up the first one in January, and I've re-read the series already. I haven't enjoyed the various details and mysteries of a book series this much since I was reading the Wheel of Time books by Robert Jordan, back when Lord of Chaos came out. And as much as I like the mysteries, I think the reason I like The Dresden Files so much is because I love the characters, and listening to Harry's thoughts as he goes through the story.
