For my SciFi Geeks....The Dresden Files

Ok, so I may have a slight obsession with Jim Butcher's The Dresden Files.  It all started with the the 2007 SyFy Channel series starring Paul Blackthorne, who I am utterly in love with.  It's about a wizard/detective set in present day Chicago.  It's full of magic, monsters, sex, violence, and a few laughs.  My favorites!  Unfortunately, the series only lasted one season.  In my opinion, it was one of the best series SyFy has ever aired.  I have every single episode on my Ipod, and I can watch them over and over.  You can watch all 12 episodes for free on Hulu. 

After several Google searches to find out if a there would be a Season 2, and several signed petitions later, I discovered that the television show was actually based on a book series by Jim Butcher (see link above).  From the first book, Storm Front, I was hooked.  It is hands down the best subway reading...EVER.  I find myself talking to the book as if I was at the movies..."oh no he didn't", "look out mofo!", "oh he crazy".  Yes, I have gotten several stares on the train, but I don't care.  I have also spied a couple people who were also reading the series, and we give each other that knowing look that only Dresden-ophiles can understand.  I even got my boyfriend addicted.

Harry Potter is good, but definitely for the kiddies compared to Dresden.
