The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
Sil76:
Sure did, and boy am I *happy*!!
In fact, I just finished my first read of Storm Front, and dang it if it didn't take far too little time to read!!! I couldn't put it down - amused a few of my customers to no end when surprised into a chuckle - and was most sad to turn the last page... and immediately went riffling through it again ;D
*happily scurries off to the library to snag the next 2*

I'd actually heard some buzz about Dresden around some sci-fi circles before I knew the television show was coming out.
I immediately put The Dresden Files on a Season Pass on Tivo. Loved what I saw in the first couple of eps, so took myself off to Borders to buy a couple of books.
I read Storm Front in a day. Couldn't put it down. I've begun Grave Peril (Borders didn't have #2) but work, etc., have kept me from devoting endless time to it. All the better to savor it, I guess.
Plan on buying more of the book series as time permits. This is exactly my cup of tea!

Aha! VIP Privilages all the way. ;D We get real hand-craved staffs instead of hockey sticks, free paint-by-numbers mini B-Bug and first-call on silver denarians (your choice of symbols). If you come to the ButcherCon!!! in a gloved left hand, you get discounts on a skull that throws the best DF quotes! ;)
Btw, what about those who discovered the TV shows but haven't read the books yet?

Do you realize what you've done!! You have elevated the geeks to the level of "Cool Kid"! Do you realize what this means??? The very fabric of reality is becoming unravelled! The concepts of time and space will be reversed! LARPing will become more popular than Football!!! (Both versions, since I'm sure the European cool kids play soccer/football.) The magnetic poles will reverse! The universe will be turned inside out! THEY'LL BRING BACK MST3K TO NETWORK TELEVISION!!!
Plus, now I get to wear a leather jacket and carry a skull around in public. A skull with orange LED's in the eye sockets. Sweeeeet!

My husband and I started watching the series and noticed they were from books. We both LOVE to read, so off to the book store. First three books read in one week. We didn't even have to fight over who started first. He's such a gentleman!. Today we bought the next four. He is one book behind me, so no fighting this time either. We love that they are written in first person. Perfect for a private eye! Some one please tell me, how old is Harry? (I think I missed it) Thanks!

Late 20s early 30s I think. Not sure if it was ever pegged down for sure though.
