The Dresden Files > DF Books

Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?

Actually, I found the books on a friend's recommendation.  I didn't even know there was a series until after I read Storm Front.   (I don't watch TV much as a rule...) ::)

I got into a book discusion with this crazy tattooed hippy guy from my comic book shop and he mention the Dresden Files. I went right to Barnes & Noble but the first thing I found with Jim Butcher on th spine must have been from Codex Alera and I really didn't want sword and horse fantasy at the time.

As some one said on the first page I watched a couple of eipsodes of the show before I saw the "based on..."  at the end and then I went out and picked up Proven Guilty. It was the only thing I could find at the time. Now I've got all the books that are currentlly out and I love them. I'm about 2/3 of the way though Blood Rites at the moment.

Louped In:
I was very interested in watching the show, and then I saw a commercial that said it was "based on the series by Jim Butcher". So I ran out and bought Storm Front and Fool Moon. I was hooked, and bought more.

I was surprised by all the differences, though, but still found them to be good reads.

I got really excited when I saw the previews for the show. I started watching from the first show on. I went to IMDB to get a little more information, and found out it was based on the books. Yea!! I checked at my library and they only had Dead Beat and Proven Guilty. I went ahead and read Dead Beat and fell in love. So I ordered the first four on Amazon. I finished those in about a week, so yesterday I went to BAM and bought Death Masks.

Now I just have to finish all the current ones in the next 23 days. I do not want to get done too soon, because the wait will kill me. I am scared of what will happen when I have to wait for the next one.

I am so glad to have found you all....

no I was in a local book store looking for something new to read, seen "Storm Front" and knew it was the book series for me. I've been a avid reader since I was 12.
speed reading through tons of books mostly sifi and fantasy. Jim Butcher is a fine Author who ranks up there with the greats. Keep them coming Jim! bravo!! ;D
