I'm gradually reading my way through The Dresden Files, as are several other people I know. I'm trying hard to avoid spoilers and I'm coming to the conclusion that other people read a lot more quickly than I do.

Regardless, I'm enjoying the books immensely. They're pulp fiction of the cheesiest kind, but an enormous amount of fun. The characters and the world are full of clichés but they are very well drawn, and the stories rattle along at one hell of a pace.

Definitely at least the second-best fantasy serial about a social misfit orphaned wizard named Harry, who goes around solving supernatural mysteries whilst struggling with relationship issues, finding out about his own past, and trying to stay out of trouble with the magical law authorities that I've ever read ;o)
