To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
4.0
A very enjoyable time travel comedy. More chuckles and smiles than outright guffaws, but the plot is delightfully clever - and there are some nice references to classic literature, i.e. Jerome K. Jerome, Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers. (Be warned, characters mention moderate-to-severe spoilers for Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone, the Lord Peter Wimsey series, and some Agatha Christie.)
The middle section could take some trimming to really tighten it up, but overall I had great fun with this book. I look forward to reading more Connie Willis in the future - although it looks like a lot of her books are Very Long, so I will still approach with caution.
