Sorry to be doing this so late, but I had to add in a few plot details from Jane Eyre. An important one (I think) is that Jane and Mr. Rochester already loved each other when she left… she found out about his wife on the eve of their wedding. Another little thing, the wife died in the fire, so Mr. Rochester was not committing bigamy. Just thought I’d ad those in… It’s a really good book, and well worth re-reading if you ever get the time.

M — good to know! I definitely want to continue through the series!

Rachel, book 2 is already on my wishlist!

April, thanks for filling in the gaps!

Crit, it’s hard to get much reading done when you have a newborn, isn’t it. I’ll check out Nursery Crimes…

Chartroose, yes indeed!

Care, so sorry! I got it from the library. :-(

Do you own Geek Love? It’s on my bookmooch wishlist (hint, hint) Honestly, I don’t think I am up for the Eyre Affair but the Geek Love book sounds cool.

Yay, I’m glad you appreciated “Geek Love.” And you totally understood it too! Wasn’t the ending something else?

I’m a committed fan of Jasper Fforde, put on to him by my uncle in between the second and third Thursday Nexts, but haven’t got into the Nursery Crimes series at all. I think I miss a lot of the literary jokes, having failed to read most of the classics (Jane Eyre included) but what I have found is that, like M said, there’ll be something there that interests me, and I find out more about it. So I have thought of reading Jane Eyre for completeness, but haven’t managed it yet. Sadly I’m not reading much right now, but I have got to a few pages of my current novel over the last few nights, after Mr Screamy has gone to sleep but before I have to crash.
