Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series is ...
First, Lost in a Good Book is the second book of the series. Thursday finds that a Law of Thermodynamics refuses to behave in her vicinity ... instead of things tending toward disorder and chaos, entropy reverses around her and randomness turns to orderliness. And then weird things happen ...
As a result, Thursday finds herself in the Bookworld, an apprentice to Miss Havisham of Great Expectations, and trying to avoid the multi-national corporation Goliath.
The series is ... hard for me to explain. It falls into the "Spec Fic" category -- with an alternative history for England, which is now a republic and not the UK. Technology and what interests the public are quite different from the world we live in ... except, dopey TV is even dopier! (As if that really seems possible!) I really don't want to send you away from me here, but the wikipedia article about the series is very good. The link is below, along with a link to the author's website, and the list of books in the series as listed at GoodReads. I will be getting to each of them soon, but if you want to know more about the series, those resources will be helpful :D
