I'm reading Child of Fire: A Twenty Palaces Novel by Harry Connolly. It's the first book of the series and is a bit Dresden-esq, without being an homage (rip-off). It's a different tone, with a tough guy hero who can just barely do magic at all, still a good read so far.

I'd also recommend The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne for a different, but enjoyable urban fantasy.
Child of Fire looks interesting. The Druid Chronicles have been on my Wish List for months now.

Another detective/mystery novel Dresden fans might like is Harry Turtledove's "The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump". It's sort of an urbanized fantasy/comedy.
No e-book?

Cool re-read
i finished re-reading ghost story, the newest of the dresden files novels. this completes my re-read of the 13 books in the series and the short story compilation, side jobs. now i, somewhat unhappily, must leave the dresden universe except for discussions here in this thread. here's hoping that they are numerous

To explain would be to invite you into the chaos that is my way of thinking...so the short answer: Because I can't get there by the end of the year.
