Jasper Fforde - Lost in a Good Book

Was inspired to read this despite my only lukewarm positive response to The Eyre Affair after a conversation with one Buffy at T's party the other week, during which I (a) learned the true ending of the 'real world' Jane Eyre and (b) was told again that they improve after the first. Glad I did, too - Lost in a Good Book is lighter and more fun than the first in the series. Thursday Next is an engaging central protagonist and it's nice to see recurring supporting characters appear (and those characters are generally treated fondly); in this one, too, particularly enjoyed the Kafka pastiche.
