Who the Hell is Dresden
This guy.
A wizard, demon possessed on occaision, who lives in a basement, is frequently broke and rarely gets laid. Although seriously effective at spells, he always carries the biggest gun he can carry as backup. As he says: "Bullets have their own magic."
The tv series was what got me into the Dresden Files. I thought they were good. After the first book, I realized my mistake. They were decent, but my god. The Books.
