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

(If you don't watch NCIS you won't know who Gibbs is, but that's okay, my friends and I get it, so that's what counts. :P)

It's been called a dope-slap for quite a long time, well before Mark Harmon was even born. :)

There was a looooooong gap between watching the show and the books. One day I was surfing around and ran across a reference to the show and shortly after that I was in Borders books and they had a sale on that included the Dresden books. I bought "Storm Front" and "Grave Peril". Two and a half months later and I've burned through all the books and all the short stories except two.
To fight the effects of withdrawal, I'm on the forums, will be rereading the series (slowly, this time), and will try listening to one of the audiobooks. I think if I can make it till January and the distractions of the Olympics and then the return of "Lost" and "24" I can make the long haul to next April without ending up in the fetal position. ;D

^ Yeah, I blew through the books and am currently rereading too.

I didn't even know about the show really. I sort of saw an episode a while back called "Bourne Identity" on Sy-fy not too long ago and it looked interesting but I didn't get into it till I found it on Hulu around early August of this year. Then I found out it was not only cancelled but 12 episodes. *cries*
Then I thought, It's a book series too? So I went to the local 2nd hand bookstore chain (Half-Price books) and found "Dead Beat" and read it and fell in love! So then I read "Storm Front" and have been reading them on and off more or less out of order till I can finish them and go into withdrawal for 6 mos till "Changes" comes out. :'(
So yeah... I've got three books left and I'm reading one of them now. Then I have to wait... wait... wait...
But I have kept myself busy writing fan fics based of DF. :D

I happened to see the TV series box set at my local library. I borrowed it and finished the whole thing in less than one week (neglecting my poor homework). I noticed it said based on the books, and I remembered seeing the books with the cool-looking covers on the shelves at the bookstore (who says you can't judge a book by its cover?). I bought book 1 yesterday and finished it (once again neglecting homework, noticing any patterns?) and bought book two today, although I have yet to get past the first chapter...
(by the way, I'm new to the forums, nice to meet everyone, if this is what you call meeting people I'm not sure if there is little enough people here for my newness to even register, or if I'll be one among the masses)
