Your Humble Blogger was at loose ends, having finished a book and needing another, and there was The Eyre Affair. So I picked it up and reread it, despite a certain reluctance. And do you know what? It’s a terrific book. I seem to have let the disappointment of the last couple of books muddle my memory of the first one. I had in mind a sort of average Thursday Next book, I suppose. And also there’s the thing that once you read a world-creation book once, you’ve got the gag, and re-reading it doesn’t usually work as well. This time, with this book, it worked just fine.
