I am currently reading the Dresden files book series, by Jim Butcher. I highly recommend them.
I am on book 4 of the 6 I bought this week. This will be the 4th I have finished so far this week, if I finish it this morning.
I am caught up in the story enough, that I am going to read now instead of going to sleep. It has been a long time since I have had books that good, as it is 4AM here in Jersey, and a smart man would sleep.
Not me. As long as I can get past the sleeping guard pups and the horde of godzillas in my living room, it is time to read!

Good series - Have you seen the tv show? It's not half bad.

Just a word of Caution - Storm Front - the first book is not the best representation of the series. I might go so far to say it's the worst IMHO, but it get WAAAAY better from there on.

Ted,
I agree with you. The first was good, they just keep getting better and better.
Barnes and Noble had them on sale last week for buy one, get one half price. I do not know if it is over this week, or not. They were on an endcap near the sci-fi section.
The TV series is good, as well. It is one of my Wife and I's favorite shows. I rather like how it follows Battlestar on Sunday nights, so we get a good 2 hours of quality TV in.
