The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
Old-Leaky:
I certainly can thank the Sci-Fi (before it became SyFy) channel for introducing me to the books. I didn't have a big book store where I was going to college, and I didn't get to go to one much, so when I had time to read for pleasure it was from books worlds familiar to me, and I hadn't tried any new stuff in a while. The show didn't hold my interest, but it piqued my curiosity enough to check out the books, and I'm now a fan. I must say, unlike the seeming majority, I quite like what they did with Bob's form on the show. It was very different, but I think it fit the show's format to have a more anthropomorphic Bob. The dead wizard in a skull thing was not as good as the books, but it humanized him, quite literally, for viewers of the show.
dcinti:
A friend of mine recommended the series to me. I was looking for a really original fantasy series, so hard when they seem all the same. I picked up Storm Front and was hooked. Love them...they should be made into a movie, but then they tend t ruin the story when they do that.
Foxed:
I believe I discovered both near-simultaneously. So I checked out the show on Hulu when they had it (back in the ancient times before Hulu Plus) because 45 minutes sounded like a better time-cost to see if I liked it.
Then I started ordering the books from the library one after the other, basically.
Brian Niemeier:
First learned of the novels because of the show. Didn't start reading Jim until this year's Hugo packet. Now hooked.
Netulven:
I had never heard about these books until "Day9" aka Sean, said it was the best books he ever read on his stream
after he said it a couple of times I felt, "sure, why not give it a go"
Bought the first one about 2 mouths back, been bench reading them to say the least, just started reading skin games 30 mins ago
once I'm done with that, I'll propably get the comics and watch the show, just to see how it compares, without risking any spoilers XD
I will be sad the day, the story comes to an end
I find these books to be on pair with the Dark tower by Stephen King
