    I'm getting quite into urban fantasy books, but no one else I know reads them. Does any one here have any good recommendations?

    I've never heard of the sub-genre. Now I'm intrigued. Could you name some of the books you've read in that category please?

    Not really my genre, but there's a starting list here on Wikipedia.

    Noticed yesterday that Chapthers in Dublin seem to have a whole section devoted to the Genre, beyond the usual stuff.

    Would suggest looking at The Walker Papers by C.E. Murphy.
