Your finger is still in the book

[adelagia]

Slumdog Millionaire finally opened here a few days ago, so we went to see it today. I thought it was really good. My barometer for movie enjoyment is whether I'm still thinking about it hours or days later, so I'm pretty sure I liked it. I don't have much else to say on it, though; I'm terrible at reviewing movies except to say whether or not I enjoyed them. To sum up: Good movie.

(Or, if you haven't seen it and would like an actual review, here's Pajiba's. It's where I go for all my movie reviews, since I usually agree with them.)

A question for Dresden Files readers: Do I have to read the books in order? I snagged a copy of Storm Front from the library and liked it a lot, but the next ones that are not checked out are 5 and 6.

I think you kind of need to read them in order. He references things from the previous books pretty frequently.

Of course someone else might think differently.

Hee. You're the second person on my flist to start reading these recently. I love them.

Hee to your icon! And duly noted on the book order. I'll have to track down the next one from somewhere else, then.

I've been wanting to read them for quite a while because I keep hearing such good things about the series, and I'm really glad I finally got to!

Yes, you should read them in order, because there are things that happen in earlier books that are used later on. Actually it's one of the things that I love about the series. Yay Dresden Files!

Gotcha. Thanks! I have one other book to read before I go back to the library, so hopefully the next book in the series will be back by then.
