Thursday Next
My sister got me the first three books in the "Thursday Next" series - I'm currently reading The Eyre Affair. The alternate reality that Jason Fforde has set up is fascinating - the book opens in a version of 1985 where the Crimean War is still going on. Russia is still ruled by the Czar. There's a U.N., but I have no idea how that came about - I'm not far enough in to have much back story yet. I love alternate reality though, and I'm getting back into scifi/fantasy - so this set of books looks great. So far, I'd have to recommend them :) |
