Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?

True, but not so wrong as stuffing any one who is 6'6" into an old beetle.

I'm 5'9" and I feel stuffed in a beetle

I'm 5'2"! I might just fit! Lolz!

@topic: Vice versa. I read the book (Storm Front), didn't think much of it, but then read a short story that was farther along the timeline (Heorot) and went back to the books and discovered the TV show and got very much addicted.

My childhood best friend's dad is 6'5" and BIG, and he drove a Bug for a long, long time.

Rather the reverse. Never knew a tv show even existed. Came to know about that by chance on wikipedia and couldnt wait until I got the dvds. A bit disappointing though. TV Harry some how lacked that ' panache, that moxy, that chutzpah

And of course Ancien Mai and Morgan looked ridiculous.

I actually rather liked Morgan's TV version.

I actually rather liked Morgan's TV version.

Me too. He was pretty cool.

He was more than cool.  He was FABULOUS!

I liked him too but I loved Harry. OMG I just fell in love with TV Harry or I'd never have tried the books. Seriously. I mean up till now I've been reading about harmone crazed teenage wizards and little girls who go looking for something in alternate realities with bears and such through some "dust" and I was wondering why I couldn't get myself to finish those books till I found Harry. I blasted through those books like they were water off a ducks back. And then it hit me... I needed to read about adults not children. So the show in that respect has done good for me.

Plus I haven't read this much in like forever... up till now I was reading maybe 1 whole book a year and parts of others that are still incomplete. And I used to blast through books in hours sometimes as a kid.

Damn my addiction to surfing the web!

Before I watched the TV show, I hated wizards/witches/etc.  I hated fantasy as a whole.  I found it boring and uneventful. 

However, I watched the TV show and was hooked.  A comment on youtube said there were books, so I had to read them.  I went through them sooo fast!

Since then I have tried reading other science fiction wizard/witch books - and it just isn't the same.  Dresden Files IMO is the only series of its kind that makes me addicted as hell.

Yeah I'm finding myself feeling that way as well. And i started buying books again.

[DracoNobilis]

Well I had pictured Morgan to be quite a bit older and battle hardened than that Armani wearing  badass wannabe in the tv show

[Calluna]

I'd heard of the Dresden Files from another forum, but I only picked up the books after watching the first episode of the show.  I'm glad I did - they've been giving me a lot of enjoyment ever since.

[airyie]

Really? Which forum did you come from?

[Calluna]

From SFFChronicles (or Chronicles Network) - they have a Jim Butcher sub-forum there, although it's not as active as it used to be.

[airyie]

hmmm.... Interesting.  I never heard of it though.. 
Anyways, welcome!
