After all the buzz about Ghost Story in the forum, I'm contemplating starting the Dresden Files series. I presume the advice would be to start from the beginning (duh!) and work my way through? I notice, though, that there seem to be additional titles that have appeared out of sequence (e.g. Restoration of Faith, which looks like a very short prequel, and a couple of others, which look more like short stories?).
Would you guys recommend reading them in order of the books' time-line position in the sequence, or in the order they were released (if that makes sense)? And do the short stories matter in terms of the overall series and reading experience?
