Storm Front (wizard book recommendation)

[Sister Mary Lunatic]

Just finished a book called "Storm Front" by Jim Butcher.  It's about a
wizard named Harry (!) Dresden, who practices his craft in Chicago by hiring
out as a private detective (look for him in the Yellow Pages under
"Wizards"... he's the only one listed).  He's a good wizard, but poor Harry
isn't a terribly successful businessman ... he's always behind on the rent
for his tiny basement apartment.  Occasionally the police call him in as a
special consultant for really weird crimes. And there are some REALLY weird
crimes being committed.

Great fun book, full of humor and wizardly action.  Harry's Saturday night
Date From Hell in Chapter 14 is especially entertaining : A concussion, an
interrupted shower, a power circle, a slinky tabloid reporter, a toad demon,
a talking skull named Bob, and a couple of magic potions.... Whew!

There's a sequel called "Fool Moon" that I'm getting ready to devour.
