Is anyone else a fan of this series of books? Jasper Fforde had me at The Eyre Affair.
*Bump*
Really, no one has read these books? I would've thought there were at least a few who might have enjoyed them.
Me, me, me! Didn't see this thread before. I ordered the first few books from overseas before they started coming out at the same time on both sides of the Atlantic. I was very proud of myself, as I successfully predicted a book or two in advance that
Did you read his Nursery Crimes books? The Big Over Easy and The Fourth Bear? I think I might actually like them better than Thursday Next.
I will always wish that Rocky Horror-style Richard the Third would catch on—it sounds like the only performance was a hoot!
Just discovered these recently. Such an interesting alternative modern day Earth setting.
I just picked the first one out of the library. But I have 1 or 2 other books to read first.
I read it and liked it a lot! I need to remember to pick some up on Saturday....
They're great, and I love them.
I just have one issue.
I've got The Eyre Affair, Lost in a Good Book, The Well of Lost Plots...and First Among Sequels.
Anyone spot the issue? =/
The others aren't at the library or bookstore, sadly. I hate getting books online, they always seem cheaper made when I do.

The Fourth Bear caught my eye across the Library sitting out in in the Science Fiction section. I decided to start with the Eyre Affair and was hooked. Reading The Woman Who Died A lot now. Shades of Grey was really good too I wish he'd work on the sequel. I read all of these pre getting into Pathfinder so it wasn't until reading the newest one today that I wondered what a Thursday Next build would look like.
