. Watched series. Got hooked. Bought books... ALL of them at the time, and in the course of 2 months I went from Storm Front to White Knight. I caught Dresden fever and literally almost got into a accident speeding my way to Barnes and Noble to pick up Small Favor all along with a grin on my face... laughing like a maniac. But I digress.. I finished Small Favor today and was blown away. Worth every minute of the agonizing wait. I'm currently in cold turkey mode

after finishing it.
But yes, the joy you get of inflicting/inflicted the love of a new author is a drug. Since I started reading the series, I've gotten 3 people hooked on it
