The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
DresdenFan81:
I did start to get into them because of the show. After I read the first one, I tried to watch the show, but could not get into it. The books are SO much better. I love these books so much. ^_^ Its hard to pick a favorite...but probably Fool Moon. After that I was hooked. I really enjoyed Storm Front, but Fool Moon made me love the series. Summer Knight helped too. :) I've read them all except Small Favor, but I have started it. :)
There's so much in these books that I love. I love Harry first and foremost. He's so cool. ;D I love how he uses magic and how his whole universe works. I really love the vampires in this universe. They're all different and interesting. There aren't too many characters in this series I hate. Maybe Susan. She bugs me. I am glad she hasn't been in the last few books.
I apologize for fanboying all over the place, I just don't have that many friends who read these awesome books. ^_^

I miss an option saying 'Discovered the books before the TV series was started' in the poll. :lol:
I'm confident the series was planned already when I discovered the series, but I had read some books already when I heard of the TV thingy. I don't think I had watched the the TV series actually without knowing the books, it's not the other way round.

I didn't know anything about the Dresden Files before I picked up Harry (so to speak) ;) in the Sci-Fi section of Borders whilst looking for something 'different'. And boy wasn't he!
I haven't seen the TV series having only 'peasant TV' that doesn't give me the channel the series in on. I have seen stills and I have to say my image of Harry and that of the TV producers doesn't jibe. :-\ So for now I'll stick with the books and my twisted imagination...it seems to work best..

I had all the books done before watching the shows but the shows were my wife's first time to know Dresden. She hates SF but loves me so it works it's self out

I'm not overly happy with the voting options.
I passed a large cardboard display for the Dresden books in a store and stopped to see what new SciFi Channel crap they were promoting shamelessly. (Since "Coming soon! To Scifi!" was plastered all over it.)
Upon reading the backs of the books that were there, I had a good laugh and decided these were worth looking into. I couldn't find any info on the show at the time, but it stayed in the back of my mind. A few months later, I came across an episode halfway through and Harry was having a conversation with Bob. I liked actor-Bob. So I went back to the bookstore and picked up a volume.
Somewhere along the line I got my hands on a copy of the TV show, but I have to say I'm a little less than impressed with it. I like the actors, sure. And the show itself is as good as the next Supernatural type show. But it seemed too canned to me. Nicholas Cage was in charge of it, wasn't he? I did hear that somewhere? I would have expected more from him...
