Without a doubt, 'The Eyre Affair' is the single most entertaining book I've read in years. I picked up a copy at Torcon and took it back to the art show where I was allegedly working. At page 10 I put it down, walked back to the huckster room, and bought everything else they had by Fford. The other two weren't quite as brilliant as 'Eyre', but what *could* be? -- "I try not to sound old and cynical, but it's hard to do that when you're old and cynical." -me
