3rd Thursday Next book I read this book in March of last year (this is the copy that I read). Its a Thursday Next book so of course I loved it. I love Fforde literary references (one of my favorites in this book was Agent Godot, which I caught the first time he is mentioned at the roll call), his fabulous sense of humor, and his awe-inspiring imagination.
I love the epiphanies that I have as a reader of Fforde's books -- catching literary references, figuring out clues and how things fit together -- as well as that sense of having my mind boggled (in a good way).
I can't really explain my reaction to this book without saying that after reading Lost in a Good Book, I read The Big Over Easy as part of a book ring. A great portion of my sense of discovery while reading this book was focused on Caversham Heights: realizing the connection between that fictional novel and the new nursery crime series and seeing how Jack Spratt and Thursday are able to instigate its development into that series.

This copy, however, I requested through BookMooch specifically to send to zzz. I remember him saying that he hadn't read the books and since they are such fun literary mysteries I just had to make him give them a try.

My M-Bag #2 has arrived!!!
Morsie thank you so much for make it possible and for Fforde's books!!!
I can't believe that you remembered our conversation about him!
Hugs!
