I've nearly finished the second book in the Thursday Next series by Jasper Fforde.
The first book, "The Eyre Affair" was fantastic.. Its set in England, but not THIS England.. an alternate England.. An other world England. This England is bordered by the Rupublic of Wales.. Re-engineered extinct animals are kept as pets.. And the English literary classics are a huge part of life.. Thursday Next is a LiteraTec Officer, investigating happenings related to literature!!
Anyway.. Its a really fun book.. light hearted and nicely written. Full of puns connected to the classics and other things.. peoples names nearly always raise a giggle!!
The second books is "Lost in a Good Book: A Thursday Next Novel" (hmm, Amazon is being a pain with this link.. trying this this time!) and I'm enjoying it just as much as the first!!
The third is "Well of Lost Plots" and coming out here in July (its on UK Amazon, so we'll see if its on US I guess!) is "Something Rotten"Enjoying them so much!!!
