Off to be the Wizard, by Scott Meyer

Off To be the Wizard, by Scott Meyer, 276 pages

This is only at 3 libraries (according to Worldcat), which is a shame, because I absolutely loved it.  It is a mix of the humor and voice of Terry Pratchett, combined with the technology of Ready Player One (another excellent read).  Martin is just your average, twenty-something year old man who spends more time on computers than with people.  And when Martin stumbles across a file that proves that all of reality is just a computer file, he soon finds himself playing the part of a wizard in medieval England.  This book is funny (the author is the creator of "Basic Instructions," a webcomic that is also hilarious), the characters are relatable, and it was just a surprisingly fulfilling read.  I just hope there's a sequel!
