The pace builds so much from book-to-book, I did the same thing. Freaking devoured them.
I want to say when I started reading them book 5 had just came out. Read the first 5 books in about a month. Then had to wait for each book since then. Jim Butcher mentioned in an interview that there is only gonna be 3 or 4 more books in the Dresden Files series.

If so, that's a major change of plans. He's said in the past that "Changes" was the half-way point in the series.

I might be misquoting him. Changes was book number what?
So for the people that have been reading the Dresden Files,have yall read the comic book yet? I was surprised when my local library got a copy. IIRC it is set before the first novel and was pretty good.
Q. How many books is Jim writing for the Dresden Files? A. 23ish: 20ish “case books,” like those we’ve seen so far, plus a 3-book apocalyptic trilogy. Book #13, Ghost Story, hit bookstores in July 2011. Book #14 will be called Cold Days, though we don’t have a release date for it yet. Our rough prediction is Fall 2012.

Thank you. Well seems like we have a rough release date for the next book.

Don't mess with me. I'm in the zone.
I love the fact that I don't have to wait for the next book. I've got Changes on my floor ready to go when I finish Turn Coat. Problem when there is a time lag is you forget a lot of dangling plot threads that are answered in the next book or a few books down the line. I remember when I used to read Star Wars books @ it would be months to years between some books. It is cool to immerse yourself in it. I'm aiming to finish the next book in the next few days.

But what are you gonna do when you get caught up and have to wait a year or more for each new book?

I have often enjoyed devouring the entire works of a newly-discovered author in rapid order.

I think my first was Vonnegut.
I also do that. When I discovered Jack Ketchum back in 2008. I read one book,then hit the nearest bookstore and bought every one of his novels they had. After about 5 months I had read all his books that were in print. The only stuff from him I haven't read is the stuff that had very limited print runs. There is no way I am paying $50 for a 30 page long chapbook.
I think you guys might like F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack stuff I you havn't read it. Jack doesn't fix appliances he fixes...situations. Usually, with a supernatural twist.

Well @dubbat138, I will then hate myself. I'm nearly up to Ghost Stories and then I'll probably forget about it for a long while, or try too, then come back and do another reading marathon.
I love the Cinema Sewer magazine. It is one of the few movie magazines that I bother to subscribe too. Well this book reprints articles and other stuff from the out of print first year of the magazine. Plus Robin Bougie has wrote all new articles just for the book. CS covers lots of cult cinema,and even classic 70s porn. What makes the magazine/book so great is Robin is also a very good artist ,so most articles have great drawings from him. Plus he has actually scooped some major news outlets on stories. Like when he discovered that Thora "Ghost World" Birch's parents were both pornstars back in the 70s. Now one warning this book and the magazine are not for kids. But if you enjoy cult cinema and other sleazy stuff Cinema Sewer is a great read.
Three Days to Dead By Kelly Meding- It's been really great so far, it's about a monster hunter who gets killed and wakes up in the morgue in someone else's body, and has to deal with with this other woman's messed up life as well as her own, trying to discover who killed her in the 72 hours she has left before the resurrection spell wears off. Solving your own murder is an old trope but not a very common one, and it's played off really well in the story and the layers added on top of it add to the richness of it. It's like a really good action movie with a strong romantic b-plot. I can't give it a full rating because I haven't finished it, but it is one of the most engaging reads I've found in a long time.
It is the ultimate quest for the ultimate treasure. Chasing a map tattooed on human skin. Across an omniverse of intersecting realities. To unravel the future of the future.
I've read more than a dozen of Lawhead's books over the years, and this one is my favorite. Why? First of all, it's nice to be able to read a book without a pronunciation guide -- so many of his books have Celtic/Old English words that it becomes a chore for me (yes, there are a few German words in this book, but not much). Second, this book has a bit of everything -- science fiction, suspense, adventure, time travel, England, China, Egypt, Vienna, tattoos and COFFEE! (or Kaffee). Put that all together and you have a fast-paced book that leaves you wanting more. Looking forward to the next two in the series.
Just took a side trip with The Dresden File: Side Jobs. Side stories of the Dresden U. I'm now into Book 13: Ghost Stories. I will hate to wait for Book 14.
I'm trying to read some of the sci fi and fantasy classics. I recently read 'Ring World' by Larry Niven, and thorougly enjoyed it. I'm currently finishing Isacc Asimovs first 'Foundation' novel, and have enjoyed that too. Next up is Arthur C. Clarks 'Rendevous with Rama'. Having fun so far.
Does Foundation have that group that predicts the future based on a "Selden Crisis"? Nobody makes a decision until they are forced to and he extrapolated the entire course of future events based on nobody being proactive ever! I kinda loved that. That's about the only thing I remember about the book from 20 years ago.

Now that I've been all pompous, I'll announce that I've finished The Dresen Files: Book 11 - Turn Coat and am now starting book 12.
Right now I'm reading The League of Night and Fog.
I'm not too far in, but I'm already hooked.

However, most of the lists are dominated by stuff I don't really read.
