Lol Good old Douglas Adams he was certainly one of a kind. His writing is unique and hilarious. Have you seen the movie adaptation of "Hitchhikers". I thought that with the budget they had to work with that it was done quite well and Douglas would have been proud. I only own "Hitchhikers" but have read "Restaurant at the end of the universe". I have always been going to get the whole series and never gotten around to it. I will get the other books sooner rather than later hopefully.Thrilled to bits, Gannon! You like Douglas Adams, too. I own all his books and can still quote things like “The Infinite Improbability Drive is a wonderful new method of crossing vast interstellar distances in a mere nothingth of a second, without all that tedious mucking about in hyperspace”.
And doubly thrilled that you are interested in reading Jasper Fforde! Where to start? I’m all of a tizzy! Well, I got hooked on his very first novel in the Thursday Next series “The Eyre Affair” and I think it is best to start there.
I am sure I have heard of this novel somewhere. I am ordering it today and then I can discuss it with you. Thanks for the link to the review.
"In Bligh's Hand: Surviving the Mutiny on the Bounty", sounds right up my alley, and I am sure Colleen will add it to her collection is she has not already. The whole package sounds great. Ahhhhrrrr there are so many books I want to get.
I have just about finished "Witches" and I must say that I am still enjoying it. I think the term is "Brain candy". Its nothing special in a literary sense and its not going to be winning any man bookers or anything, but its not trying to and taken for what it is, its a fun read. I can't wait to start "The water of life", and see what is happening with the wanderers, Mawn and Sianan. I really hope that there is still a real fantasy feel to the last book. I love the whole Celtic Fantasy thing that was building through book two.
You are welcome. I enjoy our exchanges as well. (Go for gold!) lolThank you for the compliment, I do enjoy our literary exchanges. Go for gold!
Ps - I just ordered a signed US first printing of "The Eyre Affair". It is signed "Jasper" on the title page. Whooooohooooo
