The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde

This be a young adult novel so you could probably file it under something quick and fun... Mix in some alternate history... some devilish vampires... time portals... dodo birds... and a really funky car and you've got this gumshoe sci-fi thriller... You've got to love the character names and the rocky horror Shakespeare... what a world... The main character, Thursday Next, knocks heads with Braxton Hicks, Jack Schitt, Bowden Cable, and a villan by the name of Hades... and that just scratches the surface... I know it is pulp science fiction, but like pulp (not a big fan of it even in my orange juice), it has some roughage... Check it out... and if you know of any utopian sci-fi let me know...
