I didn't post about The Eyre Affair a couple of months ago when I listened to it, because I just didn't know what to say about it. I was hoping that a second book would help. I'm not sure it did. Let's just start with the Publisher's Summary (because there's just no way I could do justice to this ...
‘Bad boy!’ she added in a scolding tone. The Tasmanian tiger looked crestfallen, sat on its blanket by the Aga and stared down at its paws. ‘Rescue Thylacine,’ explained my mother. ‘Used to be a lab animal.

This one maintains the interesting ideas but I actually felt like I understood Thursday a lot better, found myself with a ...
More fun adventures in life and literature for Ms. Next, and plenty of glimpses of "Homo sapien at his least sapient." These books are great if for the wordplay alone. Looking forward to more adventures with Thursday.
