Hey Poe! Long time, no see!
OT: I don't really like the scifi or fantasy novels but The Enchantress of The Stars was actually really good (despite the name). Pretty short and fantastic blend of scifi and fantasy.
Story is told from 3 points of view (a futuristic soldier like a Master Chief figure, a frodo like figure, and a princess leia like character), each chapter being one point of view. The comedy comes finding out what items actually are (for example the 'piece of the sun' is a flashlight, etc. sounds lame, but it's pretty great).
Also Milkweed is pretty good. It's about a little Jewish orphan boy who wants to become a Nazi, in the middle of WWII.
