The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

How have I never written a review for this book before? I love it soooo much!
Actually, I probably read this the first time long ago before I was even using Goodreads. I notice there's no DATE in here for when I read this? Hm. I probably first read it sometime in like... I'm going to guess 2005-2008, but it could have been later, but not so much later that I was doing derby.... Let's say 2006.
For some reason I can no longer remember, I decided to re-read this series this year. It 100% holds up as funny in that irreverent and sort of absurd way that I like best. It reminds me a bit of The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, but with less "dear reader" fourth wall jokes (although, I think the series might go there eventually because it's super meta). I think I read the first like 4-5 books in this series then crashed out during a long reading slump, but I kept buying them. I'm excited now that I'll get to see how the series ends! I think I own them all.
Hundred percent I'm going to recommend this to my dad. :)
