The Terence Tao books are amazing so far. Extremely readable introduction to Real Analysis.
Similarly, Analysis I by Terence Tao has a 'Why do analysis' that has made me actually enjoy analysis.
Tao has the style that I really enjoy where he uses a mix of intuition and light mathematical maturity to build basic Analysis from first principles.
Not everyone benefits from this approach, but if you're the person who enjoys discussing and debating with the author as you develop the fundamentals, then Tao's Analysis is fantastic.
