Yeah, that moment at the end of book three where the shit hits the fan just really defines the series for me. It basically defines Dresden's character, puts things in place for every book that follows it -- EVERYTHING comes back to that one night. EVERYTHING. It's the most pivotal moment in the series, in my opinion.

I'm glad you're getting into this. Rachel and I babble on about the series all the time, it'll be nice to have someone to include on the e-mails. =)
