The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
Jinn Master:
I actually almost didn't read the books because of the TV show. There were a few people I encountered who were real a-holes about the books being more fantastic, which I grant is often the case, but they were sort of ramrodding me not to watch the series and read the books instead.
So, out of sheer contrariness, I refused to read the books but watched the whole series and enjoyed it.
Then, later, I picked up the Codex Alera, enjoyed it immensely. I finished it about the same time as a friend recommended the Dresden Files to me- I hadn't realized they were by the same author. So I went and grabbed all the Dresden books and read them through the past week. I am now reading them all again, slightly slower, because the first time I didn't read them so much as voraciously devour them.
Lullabeas:
Exact opposite. Loved the books so thought I'd check out the show. Result: If I could throw the TV down in disgust as I do a hideous book, like those God-awful Weather Warden "novels," I would. I've just started "Birds of a Feather" (cliche cancer, it's here) and I have to pause every 2-3 minutes and do something else 'cause I just can't take it anymore!!!
MoSeS:
Where is the option for "Read the books way before I even knew about the show"
newfan09:
It was the show that introduced me to my favorite book series.
So, although I am sorry for how it all went down between JB and the show, I am extremely grateful for it opening my eyes to this experience.
Ilidsor:
I saw the show when it came out, but didn't know it was based off of books. Then I found out about them while searching for the codex alera books.
I read them all in one month after that. Except changes which I'm still waiting for.
