I'd heard about The Eyre Affair before - something about an agent named Thursday Next and being able to hop into a book and meet the characters and possibly change the outcome of the book's story. I was sort of "meh" over this idea, until I started reading it. Then I was surprised - hey, this book is kind of *good*. I highly recommend this to literature fans. If you are a Shakespeare, Wordsworth, Bronte, Dickens or english history fan there are lots of little inside jokes going on here. Even if you aren't so into these things, this book is still enjoyable for the world building alone. This is an alternate universe where people have cloning kits to create pet dodos (Thursdays dodo is a version 1.2)! And that's the tip of the iceberg! I loved this.
