If you like urban fantasy and humor you should definitely check out The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher (not the TV show though, I heard it wasn't very good).

I've actually read a bunch of them!
I enjoyed them, but didn't quite fall in love. There was something a bit too... obvious about the setting? I don't really know how to explain it.
Normally I like urban fantasy that's a bit more the style of say, China Mieville.

I really liked the show, it's fun. Is is as good as the books? No. But as long as you keep the idea in mind that it's loosely based on the books, it's good. And Terrance Mann kills it as Bob.

I like the TV show more than the books, both because I'm not a fan of Butcher's writing style and because book!Harry is too dickish for me to care about him. (I'm not entirely opposed to unsympathetic MCs, but I can only enjoy reading about them when the writing is superb.) I love the TV versions of Bob and Morgan, too.

I wanted to like the Dresden Files, but the prose was just so bad. Butcher does not understand about "show, don't tell". I've been told his writing gets better after a few books, but I couldn't get through more than a book and a half.

I've been tempted to watch the TV show just to get the story and avoid the prose :P
