76: The Eyre Affair (2001), by Jasper Fforde* (1961–)
The novels starring Thursday Next
Could leave you, well, a bit perplexed.
The land of books is where they live,
And man oh man do these books give
A very potent reader’s high—
You’ll find yourself up in the sky
Where reigns all possibility—
Just read a few—oh, you will see.
The land of books—with covers off!—
The characters alive! They cough—
They breathe—they cry—they interact
With visitors—and that’s a fact.
Fforde is a brilliant, funny guy,
Who’s brought these worlds down from the sky.
So read ’em all!—now seven tales.**
You’ll laugh—and bite your nervous nails!
