Thursday Next, former "Litera Tech", is pregnant and hiding out in an houseboat in an unpublished work of detective fiction as part of the Character Exchange Program. Next is apprenticed to Miss Havesham (of Great Expectations) as a "Jurisfiction" agent. Jurisfiction is the law enforcement within book world. Next is involved in solving mysterious deaths, testing a new book format, passing her Jurisfiction exam, and taking care of her Granny Next who decides to live with her through out the pregnancy. In order to read your first Jasper Fforde novel, you need suspend your need to know what is going on. Eventually some of it will make sense. These books are insane, humorous, fast-paced, and much too weird for several of my friends. This is my personal favorite Fforde novel.

Klosterman is the funniest commentator on pop culture and other people you should care nothing about. Who knew Val Kilmer owned bison?

I've always enjoyed the evolving romance of Anne and Captain Wentworth and the rather frank discussion of social class in this novel. Not as much plot-driven action as in Austen's other novels, but more quiet and character-based.
