Christopher Moore
A couple years back, a friend of mine (thanks, Clark) recommended I read Christopher Moore's Lamb, which I did, and which made me laugh harder than anything I'd read since Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I've subsequently read many of his other books, and found most of them to be highly entertaining, albeit not as laugh-out-loud funny as Lamb.
The other day, while killing time in the bookstore before the Serenity sneak-preview, I picked up a hard-cover copy of Fluke for $5.
It fits the pattern - a very quick read, with great characters, a fine dry wit, and a good story. If you haven't read any Moore, I'd start with Lamb, and I'd definitely add Fluke to the list.
