Very happy Dresdenite

[matrixrefugee]

Just got in from buying the new short-story collection featuring a shiny new Dresden Files story -- and I skipped work to get said book which has been elusive, despite many claims that it was already out in other parts of the States. Once I get some tea and some dry socks, I'll be posting about Christmas Day hijinks.

The first one is, I'll admit, the weakest of the series in terms of quality of writing, but that's to be expected since it was Jim Butcher's very first book; it's still an extremely good read though. I actually started reading the series with the eighth book, "Proven Guilty", which I think is the best of the series so far, though "White Night", "Summer Knight" and "Blood Rites" are very strong contenders for best in series.

Well, best to start with the weakest and work my way up!

I'm a stickler for beginning with first books of a series, if possible. I like chronological order more than the concept of prequels.
