The next Thursday Next

Bookish

I need someone to appreciate how great this is with me: I found nice hardcover copies of the first two Thursday Next books by Jasper Fforde for $5 each on a clearance table! So exciting! I've read the first, The Eyre Affair, and liked it immensely. It's like a combination of Douglas Adamas and the Brontes, and it actually works. I also got the second in the series, Lost in a Good Book, and it might have to jump to the top of my To Be Read pile. (Pile? Bookshelf. Okay, bookcase. Whatever.) These books have it all--mystery, romance, obscure literary trivia, and plenty of humor. Go read them!

Kat,

I can appreciate your book find! I have read both "The Eyre Affair" and "Lost in a Good Book". I started "The Well of Lost Plots" but had to return it to the library before I finished it. I think I'm going to have to find a copy to buy. They are great books!
