The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
Damien:
Personally, I got the books from my dad, read through about 4 of them, and then got the series on DVD. I now love both.
Turanthor:
I certainly discovered the series through the show. I did not catch it initially, then Sci-fi ran a 4 episode block and I happened to catch the last half of the 2nd episode and I was hooked. watched the next 2, then bought the rest off iTunes the next day and watched them all up to that point, think they had just put out the Storm Front episode.
I ordered the books the next day and White Night as soon as I finished reading Storm Front. I knew instantly that I was hooked and I just went ahead and ordered all the books and was caught up by the time WN actually was released.
But the show did it for me, even now having read Dresden, I still love the show. It reminds me so strongly of Angel, which was my favorite show on television when it was on. They even have the same composer doing to the Score to both shows: Robert J. Kral.
I am glad I had the books to fall back on, because I had really come to love the show by the time the losers at syfy decided it should be canceled, for some unknown reason considering it was pulling in a bigger audience
They are so stupid, look at this poll and how many people came to the books as a result of the show. That would have just grown the show and the books if they would have let it happen.
pretty lame, and I feel bad for Robert Hewitt Wolfe, love that guy's writing on Deep Space Nine and he was really figuring out how to make the Dresden Files click on the screen by the end. Second show he has been a part of that was really good on its way to excellent before being canceled or railroaded by hercules (Andromeda).

Nah, I knew Jim and Shannon before I knew he was a writer. Found out he had gotten published and bought his stuff from the get-go. Now I gotta play catch up since I played hookey at work to read Changes Tuesday and Wednesday.
I am just wondering when he is coming back to Oklahoma for a visit so I can get him to sign my stuff...

I had actually put Storm Front, Fool Moon and Grave Peril on my "To Read" list but didn't actually purchase them until I saw the "Based on the books by" VERY briefly in the opening credits.
