The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
wizard nelson:
Heh, acquired a four episode disc from dollar general, my wife loved the show(she has had to listen to all my waggery for couple years) loved everything about it. But after watching it for about two weeks straight she picked up SF and read it through over the next week. Afterwards she was like 'they screwed that show all to hell!' The only thing she liked going back to it was Harry himself. I tend to agree, they kept the heart of Dresden, of being a wizard, but crapped on the rest.
Quantus:
If you can separate it from the books, it's a fun Noir wizard story in it's own right. If they arent weighed down by my expectations I liked the TV versions of Bob and Morgan, a Murphy with a Daughter was interesting, and I really enjoyed how he used common items for his magical tools, an extension of the "Witches used brooms because everyone had one so it wasnt disturbing" idea.
Mr. Death:
Bob's easily the best part of the TV show. Somewhere there's a youtube video that's just 20 minutes of him being sarcastic at people.
noquiexis: The reason Storm Front is closer is because it's the original pilot, so it is a lot closer to the books. Bob's even just a skull in it (which is why all his scenes were cut for the broadcast).

Want a bit of Butterfly-effect/Small-world trivia?
Bob was played by Terrance Mann. Terrance Mann was the Voice and the physical inspiration for Oberon in the old cartoon Gargoyles. Many original characters of the Dresden Files were based on that same Cartoon which JB watched with his son: Murphy=Elisa Maza, Marcone=Xanatos(character) and Morgan=Xanatos(Look)
Mr. Death:
And Susan got Elisa Maza's looks. I think she's even mentioned wearing the same outfit occasionally.
