First Among Sequels

Although I still think The Eyre Affair is the best of the Thursday Next books, the series continues to delight me. What I especially enjoy is that the more you are immersed in this world, the more it makes sense. Time travel and bookjumping, mind worms and multiple Thursdays–all are more comprehensible the more time you spend in Thursday's world. I also love the little details that reference back to previous novels; they make me want to go back and look for those clues.
