I Don't Know How It Happened...

A year or so ago I picked up two interesting looking books that I found in a used book store. They were by Jasper Fforde. I meant to read them, but they went into the 'stack of books to read' and I forgot about them. Then, the other day, I packed up the first one and thought it would make a good 'car reading book'. It was The Eyre Affair. I LOVED IT! I quickly tore through the next book in the series and then when I was about 25 pages from the end of that one I drove to two book stores to find the next three books in the series. If you like books (and reading about books), if you like funny books (like Douglas Adams kind of stuff), if you have read a lot of books, particularly classics and you would enjoy reading about a universe where the Complete Works of Shakespeare is legally mandatory in all hotel rooms (right next to the Gideon's Bible, the Koran, and various other religious books), then you would like this series. I am halfway through the 3rd book (Well of Lost Plots) and very much enjoying it!
