A few people I know have made the argument that Lev Grossman's Magicians is UF, I don't really agree, but I did like all three of those quite a bit.

Tad Williams is quite different from Butcher/Andrews/Monk. I read the one about Heaven. More world building, more humor. UF in general is just another "crime" or mystery sub-genre and I didn't see you list mysteries as something you loved.
I haven't read Magicians, but have heard of it and I can see where some would call it UF. Charles De Lint is like that for me. It's not really UF, but it's sort of UF. That might be more your style of prose, come to think of it (I don't really read Lint, but have started some of the books to try them).
I think you might need a sword and sorcery with UF mix to get you interested!!!
