I love them too. I also want to say that even though I was very 
dissapointed to learn that Jim Butcher considers the series to be 
open ended and so far plans to write something like 23 books in these 
series, as of today I think every other book only gets better than 
the previous one. Well, actually no, I take that back, I think Small 
Favor, while very interesting ( last book as of today) was not better 
than books 6-9. I found White night to be beyond good, I thought it 
was great.

I also think that it is possible to get what is going on and read the 
books before book 6 and even after book 6 as stand alones, but 
starting with book 6 you will miss a lot of character development if 
you start say with book 7 or 8.

I know, I read book 1 and then book 6-10 and then went back :)
