Donuts in Dresden Files

Ordering a doughnut saves Harry's life.  Yes, a doughnut, "with sprinkles 'pon it... and frosting of white."

I knew I liked Harry!!

Harry has a 30 pound cat that pushes around his 180 pound dog. He loves donuts and good beer. And his best friend is a talking skull. The man's amazing

It's sad that the cat and the dog didn't end up on the TV show. I'm going to have to try reading the books again one day.

Honestly, the first couple have some issues. The first I really got interested in was "Summer Knight" which is the fourth book (I actually didn't finish 'Grave Peril' the 3rd one)

Good to know! Maybe I'll start with the fourth one.

There's quite a bit to like in them, but, *looks around sheepishly* even the newer ones I find drag a bit in the fight scenes

I'll bear that in mind! I tend to treat fight scenes like I treat extensive technobabble--I tend to skim. *g*

for the most part you won't miss much if you do that with these books. And, honestly, I just don't have the patience otherwise.

I started with he first one after donutsweeper got me hooked with a piece of fic. I'm now waiting for the last 3 to come into the library. i figured getting them from the library would make me read them a little slower... hasn't really worked though. It stands to reason Harry would like donuts, he's a sensible guy (ish).

And I need a Harry Dresden icon.

I love the books, but I do like the character they gave Bob in the series. And I *love* his car. I see the equivalent of the 'blue beetle' driving around Liverpool sometimes.

And btw... Happy Birthday!

I like both Bobs. They're very different, but both fun in their own way!

oh yes- his car is hysterical, especially with all the comments about what happened to make the various dents and whatnot!

And thanks! :)

I was way too fond of Hrothbert to read the books the first time I tried. I do wish they'd given TV Harry Book!Harry's car, though. And Mister and Mouse!
