The Dresden Files > DF Books
Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?
Kaos Wizard:
I heard about the series and that it was based off a novel series. I was intrigued by the concept and picked up the books just after christmas (I love it when relatives give me cash, it's always my color and the perfect size). I plowed through all 8 books and Restoration of Faith in just under a month. Now I've also purchased the audiobooks and listened to the first 3 (waiting for Summer Knight to be released).

The elite detectoring skills of our board members have revealed that Harry is 27 or 28 in the book "Storm Front." You can check out the full series timeline here, but BEWARE OF SPOILERS FOR ALL EIGHT BOOKS!

I heard about the books because of the TV Show.
When Sci-Fi announced the series and what it about, I thought that sounded cool. I also thought I might check out the books. But I didn't. Later, when the series was about to start on Sci-Fi, I decided I'd check out the books. So I got to read Storm Front and maybe the second book (not sure) before the series started. I really like the books and they definitly got me excited for the series! So I continued to read the books!
I'm on 'Death Masks' now and I'm enjoying the books alot. The TV Show is good, but the books are GREAT. I really like how Harry's world continues to change through out the books and the situations that Harry is put in are cool! My favorite book so far is Summer Knight (wow that was great), but 'Death Masks' is really cool so far. It may even replace Summer Knight. Gotta finish the book before I'm sure! :)
Anyway, I'm definitly a Dresden fan! ;D

I don't think geeks can handle being "cool".... Might unnerve a few of them....
Read the books starting last June.
Thanatos:
Read the books before the show, and in a way I feel a little sorry for those who are approaching from the other direction. I mean, it kinda sucks for me when I try to watch the show and it barely resembles the books in anything more than character names. The myriad changes to just about every detail, great and small, become a constant nagging distraction even when I try to look at the show as an entirely different universe. It's not much of a loss for 45 mins of TV, but if something similar affects those that knew the show first... :(
Well, at least the stories and characters in the books are much stronger and more complete, so the dissonance would probably wear off during Storm Front, and it wouldn't bother them for the rest.
