I figure the TV show brought a lot more people to the books than the books brought to the TV show.
I recall seeing ads on SciFi Channel for the show, never watched it, didn't know there was a book series until a friend got me reading them. I didn't make the connection until the same friend gave me a disc with the series on it. (Same friend also got me started on the Anita Blake series, which I bailed on when it degenerated into pretty much pure porn.) Alternate universes *very alternate* universes. :P |

The TV series compared to the novels

By the way, Jim Butcher wanted to locate Harry Dresden in St. Louis but his agent told him not to because Anita Blake was located there. So he picked Chicago even though he was unfamiliar with the city. The above is my personal opinion. |

Finished up Dead Beats last night, and it was another standout--maybe the best so far

Last night I finally got back to the Dresdenverse! Read "Love Hurts" in Side Jobs then dove into Changes. Only read a little before I forced myself to go to bed.
Spoiler:
It's good to be back. I missed Harry and Mouse. Just realized that once I read this one, I can finish Side Jobs with "Aftermath". |

To be able to see this video full-screen, go here. [...to be continued...] P.S. I had a problem with this one, it stopped and to get it to continue I had to lower the resolution. Twice! Last edited by alansplace; 07-22-2012 at 02:43 PM. |

For those of you out of Dresden eBooks and looking for something to read, read Wool Omnibus. You'll really enjoy it.
