Lost in a Good Book (#2 in the Thursday Next series)
by Jasper Fforde (read Feb 2006)
Totally whacky, funny, and imaginative! Thursday Next, our heroine, works for Special Operations in the literary section. The story takes place in an alternative 1985 England where literature is highly regarded. Thursday's husband is eradicated, which means he doesn't exist. In this case the eradicator left Thursday with Parke-Lane's memory as a means of torment. He also wants to bargain with Thursday--a return of her husband if she will release his partner from the pages of Poe's "The Raven".
This was my favorite of the 3 I've read so far in the series. At this time there are only 3, but I think more will be coming. I don't think this is a book for everyone, but if you're a little quirky, you probably will enjoy this one.
