(The Stone of Farewell, by Tad Willians)
Butt-stuffing aside, Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is one of my all-time favorite series of books. I've read it through several times. The Stone of Farewell has that "middle book" tendency to kind of just lull, but since I'm assuming you made it through the first 400 pages of The Dragonbone Chair, you should be used to Williams' slow simmer narrative style. By the time you make it to To Green Angel Tower, you'll end up ripping through it at breakneck pace.
