For anyone who's interested in a really good read, I'm currently engrossed in "The Eyre Affair" by Jasper Fforde. It's only recently come out, so it is currently only available in hardback. The protagonist is a literary detective named Thursday Next, and it's business as usual "that is, until someone begins murdering characters from works of literature. When this madman plucks Jane Eyre from the pages of Brontee's novel Thursday faces the challenge of her career." (This quote is taken directly from the book jacket.
So far, my favorite scene is when the author applies a Rocky Horror Picture Show theme to a performance of Richard III.
It really is quite delightful and I'm enjoying it immensely.
