Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next books are brilliant. The Nursery Crime books don't quite live up to the Thursday Next ones, but I've still enjoyed them. The Fourth Bear is clever, tongue-in-cheek, and a good read. It can be hard to immerse yourself into the Ffordian world, but once you make it, the (il)logic starts to make sense. And as a book nerd, I love the word play and the literary references.
