The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
AKO:
how about folks who never heard of the TV show (because they never watch TV ::))? I discovered them by accident when I came across Side Jobs while searching the kindle store for something completely different...
wardenkyre:
It seems to me that I saw ads for the show, but never saw an episode until after I read the first four books, then I found the DVD set and bought it, being relatively disappointed. Lately, I have been hooked on the audiobooks. I just finished Turn Coat today, and loaded Changes... trying to resist starting it before bed tonight.
tnu:
Mine is a tricky case. I discovered the books and the show at roughly the same time. But under recommendation I decided to watch the show first so it wouldn't be nearly as jarring. Needless to say that when I did start reading Storm Front I was like "This certainly rings a bell".
TranQuil:
While looking for inspiration for new reading material JB's Storm Front was mentioned in a 10 books to read in 2011 list I ran into. After reading a short plot description I was enticed and ordered the book. Well, let's just say I finished reading it in less then a week, which is fast for me if you take into consideration that I also spend a lot of time in the gym and maintaining my other hobbies. I got hooked and just bought Fool Moon in my lunch break to continue the series.
Funny thing is, while reading I did find it a bit similar in style to the Anita Blake novels of Laurell K. Hamilton(love her work) and just discovered that he was encouraged to do that in his writing class. And now also discovered that there was a tv show based on the books, which didn't get renewed for a second season. So none of your poll options suits me ;)
Caskov:
I don't know if this is a legit excuse, but I live in Denmark, and Jim Butcher isn't really well known around here, so I didn't know him before my boyfriend introduced me to the series, he had the season from a colleague.
Actually I found the first four on audio and I remember thinking, 'hmm, that voice's familiar,' until I realised it was James Marsters who read the books.
My favourite book store, also known as the book pusher, now has the Dresden Files, so things have lighten up, but I still prefer to order the books from Amazon.co.uk
