The Thursday Next series is my all-time favorite, and I've been very slowly rereading it (literally one book a year) to fit a "reread a favorite" prompt for a book challenge I do every year. I've read a lot of classics that I hadn't when I read the series the first time over a decade ago, and it's such a treat to actually understand so many more of the book references that Jasper Fforde constantly drops throughout these books. Even with that, though, there are still a TON of references that I don't get, but it really doesn't even matter. These books are hilariously outrageous in the absolute best possible way.
