Nothing beats The Dresden Files
"Would you please let me join your p-p-party?
Fairy tail 490: Well that death didn't last long.
And now he can see Zera too. Is nothing sacred anymore?
Rofl.. mighty no.9 not burned.
I hope that they wont make anime/cartoon after it.
Don't sweat the details!!!
Fantasy Novel suggestions @crimson :
Death Gate Cycle (I read this once a year. 7 book epic.)
Dresden Files (Like detective noir? Like wizards? Like wizard detective noir? This is it)
Discworld (Dry british wit and silliness meets fantasy)
American Gods (Gaiman at his best)
...and there's always the Wheel of Time if you really, and I mean really, like descriptions of trees.
Read the first 2 books of the Magicians series a few years ago, actually forgot about them, so might be time to reread both and get The Magician's Land.
Dresden files piqued my interest after pvt Hudson mentioned it earlier, but must be quite good if multiple people suggest it.
American gods looks quite nice aswell, definitely going to look into that series as well.
Out of all I suggested I would definitely go with American Gods. They are actually shooting the TV Movie thinger right now, and the cast is tops. I'm just a sucker for fantasy and detective stories so Dresden is easy for me to fan boy over. It also takes place in Chicago which is a great change of pace from the usual fantasy settings. It's actually what's led me to my idea for a novel/short stories which I've been working on the past year.

No one recommended Witcher saga yet? Geeez, people. Polish fantasy best fantasy. Last book is only available as a fan translation for now, but it's easily one of the best dark fantasy I ever read - twice in middle school, twice again in high school, and twice again during and after college. Because a good book never gets old.
Also, a disclaimer to clarify things: it's not written based on the games. Games are a non-canon continuation to the books.
