>14 bumblesby: I love that book so much! The LOTR-homage towards the end had me howling with laughter.

I, too, love the Thursday Next series. I got to see Fforde at a reading once in San Francisco, at the late, lamented Clean Well-Lighted Place for Books. He was very friendly, evidently a very nice guy.

Hi Bumblesby, I see the link in >20 bumblesby: leads to another book with the same title but another writer.

>22 connie53: - I fixed it. Thanks!

Just popping in to say hi!

>25 bumblesby:
I have been meaning to read this series for ages. Since you're on book two, I take it you liked at least the first one?

>26 connie53: Howdy :)

>27 pnppl: Actually I liked the second book more than the first one. So much so I was hesitant to read the second but I'm glad I did. Now I will go on with the series :)

>34 bumblesby: I'm curious to know if the book is as sexually graphic and full of unpleasant language as the tv-show.

thx
