"One of our Thursdays is Missing (Thursday Next, #6)" by Jasper Fforde

Another good edition to the Thursday Next series, although I found myself lagging in reading this partly due to the " technicalities " of Book World's politics and government. When the story is revolving around the characters though, it is still as fun to read as ever. Fforde's tongue in cheek humor and intelligence shine through as ever and have me looking forward to his next book.
