Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
MoSeS:
Are you telling me that they wrote some books based off this show. Cool!

new to this particular forum.
been waiting on Ghost Story and remembered that it's due out soon (26th of July?).
a few mouse-clicks and an account activation later, here i am with my first post after voting that i did indeed stumble upon the books due to the defunct tv series.

I found out about the TV show after I started the books. Around April/May of 2008 I was in the IZ of Baghdad dodging rockets. We were taking shelter in the old Embasy building and I went into the rec area where they had racks of books, looking for something to read. I kept finding books that were Vol 3 of x or 2nd of the series etc. I didn't want to start a book series in the middle of it so I kept looking. I found a copy of Storm Front and it was the FIRST one of the series. Never heard od Jim Butcher but hey, it was the FIRST! I grabed it and, well, the rest is history! I read them all, got the DVD, read the Codex Alera and the first graphic novel.
I just finished Ghost Story and I streched reading it over 5 days just to make it last. Only 352 or so days to go until I get Book 14!

No. My cousin came to hang out. And said my friend got me hooked on these books. I know his friend, he's good with books. My cousin was going on about Harry blowing shit up, Murphy this kick ass Police chick and Gentleman Johnnie Marcone.... he goes, yes you have to call him Gentleman Johnnie! And Victor Shadow Man .... I said, ok! He handed me his copy of Storm Front .... and that was pretty much that. It wasn't until later i found out about the show. And at first, since i'm not completely up to GH, i thought watching the show, would ruined things for me, so i put it off .... once i got further into the series, and figured i was pass what the show, adapted, i gave it a try. Only to find out, that you could only be on Fool Moon .... and still not have it ruined for you. The show was alright, i only just finished it recently. Like most i prefer the books, no questions asked. The thing i liked least about it the show .... was the Harry and Bianca hooking up thing.... Which is probably why i, put off finishing it. Overall, there were some good episodes, and Paul Blackthorne, was good at being Harry .... the whole lying to Murph to keep her safe, thing brought me back to Storm Front. And even though, i wasn't expecting it, Terrence Mann, as Bob was fun. :)
