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

Hi EvilDan- He used to publish a DF book a year. He is now taking more time, which I guess is normal. I can only think that after a time you need to do other things or you got burned out of the characters.
Also, he is now writing a new series, a steampunk one.

Yes, I did read that elsewhere in the forums. I realize the books are quite in depth and that maintaing his level of quality takes quite a bit of time, that and a good writing needs to expand beyond one idea.

Either way its all good. I'm just really addicted. :)

If Bruce Campbell were still an appropriate age for the character, I'd say he has the attitude and quick wit seemingly required to play Harry, just not the NBA height requirement. However, he's used to playing a role where it's him vs seemingly the worst baddies in the underworld.

I honestly never read Jim Butcher or sadly heard of him before approximately 3 months ago. WHen I read the snippet explaining a detective in Chicago.. who is also a wizard, I was determined to read them. Sadly, I'm done what is currently published in the series at this point, but 14 books in 3 months isn't too bad at all.

I can easily say it was the most compelling, most addictive book series I have ever read. I'm a big fan of Jim Butcher now and will forever look out for all releases. Now I'm reading all of his other works starting with the Furies of Calderon.

I've never met Jim, and I'm sure he is extremely busy and super well received at this point, but I wish he could somehow produce at least one Dresden Files book a year. :)

Talking about the show, I watched the first episode or two on Netflix, but sadly could not get into it since so much seemed to differ from the books. Sadly, it just wasn't the same. I'm hoping for a proper reboot that stays true to the books. :)
