DF Books / Re: Did you discover the books because of the TV Show?

I discovered the books through the tv series but, to be brutally honest, that's one of the only positive things I can say about the series. I wanted to like it but the most I could come up with is a 'meh', at best. Maybe it was the hockey stick thing... why on earth would a hockey stick be considered less noticeable than a staff (or, if you'd rather, a hand-crafted Ozark walking stick)?? And how they represented Bob irritated me a bit too... And the actress who played Murphy should've played Susan and vice versa... Luckily, I caught the reference to the books at the end of the opening credits and, since I read faster than I watch tv, I was soon hooked!!
Now, if a network could put the books in 90 minutes episodes, a la BBC's Sherlock, I could totally get behind that!! Granted, they'd still have to cut tons of stuff out but it'd work better than trying to jam them into 60 minute blocks.
