For all you mystery lovers, try Simon Hawke's A Mystery of Errors. It is very funny and one of the main characters is Will Shakespeare! There were many references that I caught, and I am sure many more that I didn't. Here is a little of the author's own explanation from the afterword:
"It may be thought the height of arrogance to use William Shakespeare as a fictional character in a novel, and I imagine there will probably be those who will curl their lips with disdain at the idea, but at the same time, I have a strong suspicion that Shakespeare would have approved, or at the very least, been rather amused by the whole thing. After all, it is precisely the sort of thing he did himself."
