Sugar Dhaku _CioccolatoRaggaza_ Sugar Dhaku _CioccolatoRaggaza_ Sugar Dhaku Will it appeal to me in some way? -Stops digging because he does not have a shovel.- It will. http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/storm-front This is the author's home page. The link is to the first book and some sample chapters.So he writes fantasy murder mysteries? Yup. He has 13 books out right now. The first...6 are in order and the rest are simply labeled 'novels' but they have a pattern once you read them. All of it is based in or around Chicago. He touches on everything from faeries to werewolves to ghouls and demons. And Dresden (the main character) isn't a perfect, unbeatable character either. Its awesome...So Dresden is like a paranormal Nancy Drew. @Dissy: I can't; not without a shovel, at least.
Hm...if Nancy Drew beat the s**t out of demons, vampires and werewolves while simultaneously inflicting massive property damage. Oh and had a talking skull named Bob.

Sugar Dhaku _CioccolatoRaggaza_ Sugar Dhaku Seriously, a talking skull? Technically, its a spirit INSIDE a skull but yeah xD A talking skull.What purpose did it serve?
DOES it serve. Bob is a constant. He's a spirit that was stolen by Dresden when he killed his uncle. And Dresden uses him to...... >D Not telling. Read the damn sample chapters.

I'll read the whole books. And I assume he would serve a Merlin-like purpose; a guide or mentor to Dresden.

Sugar Dhaku _CioccolatoRaggaza_ Sugar Dhaku _CioccolatoRaggaza_ Sugar Dhaku UNDEAD. Don't lump me in with those stiffs. Yeah...you definitely have to read the Dresden Files >>Will it appeal to me in some way? -Stops digging because he does not have a shovel.- It will. http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/storm-front This is the author's home page. The link is to the first book and some sample chapters.So he writes fantasy murder mysteries? I feel I should mention he doesn't just write fantastic murder mystery. He's got some straight up fantasy stuff that Vucas and I just love. That's the Codex Alera, mind you.

Mana_ecl Zetsuya Sugar Dhaku Mana_ecl Zetsuya I feel I should mention he doesn't just write fantastic murder mystery. He's got some straight up fantasy stuff that Vucas and I just love. That's the Codex Alera, mind you. That sounds...familiar. I may have brought it up before to you. It's a nation of people, who utilize "furies", elemental beings of the land, though the main character is a bit of an odd one... He's without furies of his own.
Astra; My semester begins at the end of the month, and on day one, I'll be putting in an order for the first two to be shipped to the library. I told you that before. xD Quite possibly.
