The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
squishyhippo:
Was recommended to read it by a friend back when I wasn't doing much reading. I starting reading a lot (spending heaps on time on planes) and picked up the book after I had heard about the tv show. Like in most adaptations I feel the books are a lot better than the series, but the series did have it's own merits.

Nice. I've got some catching up to do!

Wish there would be a rethinking of the series. It would be superb to create the books into movies that are following a slightly different arc but the same main story thread. This would give you a double bonus: knowing the book backwards wouldn't put a damper on the movie.
Based on the popularity of the series I found it hilarious that it got cancelled instead of improved. Guess fan opinion is always the last factor to a studio exec's mind: look at firefly (more fans than stargate, yet only managed to get one season).
WiseAss:
I saw the adds and loved it then my dad told me it was based on a book series went to the library after watching the first episode.
I think they should make the books into mini-series like the Discworld books that would be great (want the "blue" beetle in it this time).
NeuroHeart:
I saw a couple episodes of the show, but honestly it didn't really hook me. I thought it was pretty good, but I'd seen way better television.
It was actually a few years later that a friend of mine was going on and on about the new Dresden book and how she couldn't wait for the next one. When I said I'd never read them, she immediately loaned me the first four books, and that's how I actually discovered them. I found myself a little more disappointed in the show after reading them.
So I guess I'm in the weird category of people who saw the show before reading the books, but reading the books was not a result of the show.
