The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
trouble:
I had a friend recommend his books, and starting reading them before I'd even heard of the show (didn't have syfy then). That same friend recommended the show as well, so watched that in the middle of reading the books.
I didn't care for Storm Front that much, but told friend, I'd read Fool Moon and if I felt the same way, I wouldn't continue. Read Fool Moon, and now I can't get enough. I went from SF thru Changes in just a few short months, and am going thru withdrawal waiting for his next one.
cymry:
hallo! new here :)
randomly picked up storm front in a little book shop when I was about 12 'cause it looked cool. sat on my shelf for a year, and then I just as randomly started reading it--been a complete and utter addict since. ;) I hated the television show, but I wish it hadn't been canceled!
Arkali:
I actually found Harry (and therefore Jim) via short story anthologies that I'd bought because they contained a story by another author I follow. For instance, I just ordered two anthologies Strange Brew and Big, Fat, Supernatural Honeymoon - one because it had a story by Patricia Briggs and the other for a story by Marjorie M. Liu, and those last two stories (Last Call and Heorot) finally prodded me enough to get Storm Front. I think I'd read three or four Dresden shorts before then, and it kind of piqued my interest, and it just finally reached critical mass. I'm now caught up through Turn Coat, and Changes should be here tomorrow.

Thats funny, because I discovered Patricia Briggs because Jim recommended her and did a blurb for Moon Called.
Sye:
I saw the TV because I got "serious" about reading and I seriously loved the series. Never missed an episode. After I started reading, I found out (in a wiki-surfing bonanza) that the TV series was inspired by the books. I ordered the first 2. Then next 2. Then the next 4. Then the remaining 4. I just finished Changes yesterday, and I'm already jonesing for my next fix (waiting for books 2-to-6 of Codex Alera to arrive and for Side Jobs to be released).
