A different Harry

[Karen]

I just thought I'd mention here that I've been REALLY enjoying a  
series of books , about....a wizard named Harry. I find it just weird  
that two people were at the same time, developing a wizard named  
Harry for a series of books; one a child, one an adult.  These are  
about Harry Dresden and are by the author Jim Butcher. They are  
great. To be honest, it's like IMO, what Harry should grow up to be  
like at least a bit if he were American. It's like a gift if you ask  
me. Someone who writes with humor, and compelling characters. They  
are very noir, but  there is humor. There is beauty and pain and  
someone who just wants to do the right thing, despite everyone  
feeling he is basically destined to fall to the dark eventually.  
Anyhow, if you read Storm Front, I think you will either get hooked  
or not. They are definitely entertaining. If you do, remember that he  
wrote the first three books of the series by 1996 but didn't find a  
publisher until 2000. Pretty weird, but really nice to look forward to.

Check out his wiki entry

What's really nice is I dropped the author an email on his site, just  
to let him know how much I was enjoying his series and he wrote a  
nice chatty email back *the same day*.  Anywho, check them out if you  
are interested.

I know return us to our regular programming.
