Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?

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?

Yes. Check out his short stories in My Big Fat Supernatural Wedding and Many Bloody Returns to whet your appetite. Then start re-reading the series yet again. Lather, rinse, repeat until April. ;D

Yes, discovered the books because of the show. A friend of mine kept talking about them, but I never bothered to do any real research to try and find them. I'm currently Deployed to Iraq and happened upon "Fool Moon" while looking for something to read at the PX. Picked it up and read it in about three days during slack time here at The Job, as well as on my day off. I then ordered each of the novels from Amazon.com, going for two each time I placed an order. Just finished "White Night" a few days ago and it's my favorite of the 9, thus far. I think that it's a tie between "Summer Knight" and "Dead Beat" after that.

I had seen his books in the bookstores and always found something I thought I would like better. I saw the series in the video store then picked up the first couple episodes then watched the whole series. I then went back to the bookstore and got STORM FRONT. I enjoyed it enough to get the next book in the series and then I was hooked. I ve read all the Codex Alera books (I enjoy that type of fantasy more). I'm waiting like everyone else for Capatian's Fury and I'm gonig to start Dead Beat in a the next day or so when I finish my current book. I just started reading Jim's books in September in between other authors. But I am so glad for the TV series I might still not have found Jim's books if not for them. I would have loved for the series to continue. But as long as the books continue I'll survive. But because I saw the tv series first I cannot picture Murphy with blonde hair but see her as the actress Valerie Cruz which is not bad (she is easy on the "mind's" eye).................. KP

Hopefully the comics will help TV inductees establish a strong mental image of the books' short, blonde Murphy as they read. :D

Y'know who I've pictured as Murphy, actress-wise?
Please don't hit me.... :-[
Katee Sackhoff. I know she's a bit younger than we're lead to believe Murphy is, but Sackhoff is short (tho not "five-foot nothing"), blonde, blue-eyed, has a cute lil' button nose and - IMNSHO - has the right flair for angry looks that I think would work well for Murphy. Plus, she's starting to look a bit closer to her early-to-mid-thirties that Karrin Murphy is supposed to be as she matures - Katee Sackhoff is 27. Katee Sackhoff's IMDb entry.
Just my thoughts on that particular issue.
