Cugel's Saga by Jack Vance. Hilarious read, sort of like if an old school DnD rogue full of wit and peepeeishness was in a Monty Python sketch.
Slight tangent but man is reddit fricking useless for discussing fantasy and most other media seriously. Looked up this book and found most of the posts have a bunch of whining about Cugel being too problematic for a protag. Just full of smoothbrains unable to engage with fiction without any sense of detachment, they're unable to handle "problematic" events or characters without the divine justice that you see in morality plays. Pretty sad to see how fantasy readers are increasingly unable to fantasize.
