Where to start with The Dresden Files? (lemm.ee)

Given the name of the leader of this community, I figured I’d throw this out there:

I’ve never read any of Jim Butcher’s books, and have heard good things about The Dresden Files.

Where do I start? Is there a good website to show a suggested reading order, etc?

I doubt the pedo label applies. What does he do or say that would justify calling him that? I'm guessing you've never actually read the story?

Ive read 15ish of them. Peace talks I think was last. On multiple occasions throughout the series he talks about how he thinks of the carpenter girls as children, comments some crap about knowing them in diapers right before going on to talk about their tits.

And given how Molly is hitting on him and he makes it very clear to her that it's not gonna happen, ever, I believe he doesn't deserve the label. We judge people by their actions, not by the private thoughts in their minds. We can't control our thoughts, only our actions.

Before molly is his apprentice, he talks about her all creepy. Not even talking about that scene.

And that's fine, you believe whatever you want. I haven't said he is a bad person just that reading it isn't something I want to do. I'm going to let people know what they're gonna have to put up with, cause Dresden is a creepy fkn dude.
