Teaser Tuesday Posting Frenzy

It's been a while since I fell down a meme-shaft, but I saw this one on The Warrior Muse, who in turn saw it on  Should Be Reading and I (of course) couldn't resist...
The rules are pretty simple:

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
So, here are my two teasers:
"It was Acheron Hades, the designated evildoer and antagonist from The Eyre Affair. Inside the book, he was a homicidal maniac who would surgically remove people's faces for fun, but outside the book he collected stamps and wrote really bad poetry."
Jasper Fforde, "One of our Thursdays is missing" (this is actually the 6th book in the "Thursday Next" series; if you haven't read any, then you really need to read them in order, starting with the aforementioned The Eyre Affair...)
