Tress of the Emerald Sea

Brandon Sanderson tries to combine The Princess Bride and Discworld, and manages to pull it off pretty well. It takes a second to get going, but once it's rolling it's hard to put down.

After not reading much at all for the past 2 or even 3 years, this book was such a joy that I hope I can begin reading more again. It was just what I needed to remind me why I read stories. Love it. So wise and funny.
