If you have never heard of Thursday Next or her books, you really should try out the first one, The Eyre Affair. You really have to love reading and literature to appreciate some of the finer points of these books, but if you are just interested in something light and goofy, you can get that in these books as well.
I just finished First Among Sequels, and I loved it, because I love the idea of being able to jump between books and into plots and meeting characters and stuff like that. The whole premise is wonderful. And then there are gun fights, time travel, supernaturals, and loads more.
What is really great is that Jasper Fforde, the author, has set himself up, and Thursday as well, to be very busy for awhile with other sequels. And as silly as they get I don't think I will ever tire of them.
So, today's suggestion for something to read as the summer picks up speed to burn us up with a hot August - read Jasper Fforde's The Eyre Affair.
