  I've been reading Jasper Fforde's third book about Thursday Next recently. After reading "The Eyre Affair" and "Lost in a Good Book," I was eager to keep going into this alternate history, a world where books & literature are really taken seriously. (I especially love the descriptions of riots between factions who differ as to who really wrote the works of Shakespeare! Could it really be Marlowe? ) In this book our heroine Thursday Next has entered the world of Jurisfiction and is languishing in an unpublished novel while she figures out how to get her husband back.
The fun thing about these books is all the references to literature. Reading the Mrs. Tiggy-winkle from the Beatrix Potter books works as an agent of Jurisfiction and does the washing! On the other hand, this book isn't flowing as well as the other two but I'm enjoying it and would definitely recommend the other two to anyone who enjoys fantasy/sci-fi and literature. Another cool thing about these books is the fantastic website: urlLink
