I picked up the first 3 Dresden books after seeing half the series. It's been a long time since my "reading problem" has cropped up and I went through the first two books in a day or so. I enjoy the differences between the TV adaptation and the books and appreciate them on different, non-confusing levels. I picked up the 4th book, but Joe caught up to me there. He reads far slower than I do, so I backed off to read other stuff. He picked up the 5th and 6th books and just started the 5th book. We've been getting them at Books A Million.
