The Dresden Files
Not sure if this was posted already, but have been very busy tearing through these books (I'm on book four at the moment, almost ready for book five).
The main character is Harry Dresden and he's a wizard in modern day Chicago. He even advertises in the yellow pages. Basically take Harry Potter, make him an American, make his upbringing even more shitty, then age him some. It's a great series if you're into a mix of fantasy and mystery (The guy is also a PI). It has it's funny parts, it's action and lays out how the "normal" world and the other planes work. Definately recommend getting these. Book 1 of the series is titled Storm Front by Jim Butcher. |

Re: The Dresden Files
Is this what the TV series was based off of?

Re: The Dresden Files
Thumbs up on this series. While the first two are pretty good, book 3 begins his streak of awesomeness. Grave Peril, one of the later books, has one of the most awesome scenes I've ever seen described.

Hehe, wait till you read books 4 and 5. You just can't help but root for the guy. He's like the ultimate underdog!

Re: The Dresden Files
Just finished book 9 and starting book 10. NO sign of slowing down on this one. I feel like a heroin junky with a duffle bag full of junk! The good times are here, but it's eating me knowing that eventually the good times will have to slow down and eventually end.

Re: The Dresden Files
Hehe, will do. I'm really bad for giving away books and movies, but I dare not give anything from this series unless someone absolutely insists, simply due to the amount of epic win in these novels. Just started White Knight (Book 10) today.
