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?
I wasn't too impressed with the first two Dresden. They're okay, but the important thing to note is that MANY people tell me they get MUCH, much better.
