this was the beginning of my love affair with Thursday Next. now I await each new release with childlike anticipation. I recommend her to young and old(er) alike.

I was going to keep all my T Next books on Permanent Collection status, but then I realized how unfair that is. Instead, I will LOAN these titles out with the understanding that they are returned to me once read. After all, they are such great books!

Thanks for lending me this book, becca-mo. It was a light-hearted romp through literature. I was put off at first by the comic detective thriller / fantasy format, with its indestructible villain, gumshoes and dash of magic, but fell for The Eyre Affair's quirky charms. I like the idea of a world where literature makes the evening news, people protest over the loss of a manuscript, radical Impressionists, Surrealists and Baconians roam the streets and there's a large, hugely profitable black market in first editions! Reading Jane Eyre and Wide Sargasso Sea will never be the same again. An amusing book (I loved the subplot involving the Japanese tour guide) with which you can play spot-the-literary-allusion. I'll post it back to you tomorrow, becca-mo.

This arrived back home safe & sound today. Thank you so much for the bookmark!

guess I should have been logged in first, huh?
