I came across it when I was flipping thru one of those new guy mags that tries to talk you into buying all kinds of expensive toys. I happened to notice the page on entertainment that reccommended books, music, movies, etc.

They heavily reccommended the latest "Dressden Files" book that came out earlier this year. Now I'm totally hooked.

>I read at least one book per week, sometimes 2-3 and I cannot believe I never came across this series. I usually pick a book by an author and if I like it, I read every book by that author and then move on to another author. I guess I'll have to start with Jim Butcher when I finish all the books by Jeffrey Archer (on the last one now). *G*

>>I found something new this summer. If you like Harry Potter, there is a more adult series that is very similar. "The Dressden Files" by Jim Butcher. The main protaganist is Harry Dressden. A Chicago private investigator who also happens to be a wizard.

>>I picked up book 1 this summer. I'm reading book 5 now. Butcher has a really sarcastic wit also, so you'll find yourself laughing out loud occassionally.

>>Plus, the SciFi channel has commissioned an 11 episode series based on the books, to be aired in January.
