A work colleague pointed me to the website of one of my favourite authors today. Jasper Fforde is an author of comic genius who should be made compulsory reading at English ‘A’ level. (Then the exams would be easy and fun!) I am currently enjoying Toad News http://www.jasperfforde.com/toad/nikon.html and can heartily recommend you do too!

Anything I write here is my own opinion and is not endorsed by my employers, the Labour party (nationally or locally), my family, the cat, the dog, the other dog, West Ham United FC or anyone else - and especially not Midphase Hosting. Its just a personal blog, in other words: Promoted and published by me on behalf of me (yes its all me, me, me. Vanity publishing at its worst) although I'm not particularly promoting anything, just describing and generally rambling for my own entertainment, but the whole Internet thing is such a grey area you have to be on the safe side don't you? There is always going to be some idiot who takes it all seriously. No names - you know who you are. Not that anyone reads all this stuff at the bottom anyway, not when there is more exciting stuff to do like watching paint dry...

Isn’t he great? I’ve read all the Thursday Next novels in the last few months, and they’re so clever it’s just depressing. I’d be proud to think up just one of the five-a-page jokes he crams in.
I love that it is part of my actual job to recommend books to people – Jasper Fforde makes it so easy…
I have heard nothing but good things about him, so I am making a point of not picking up any of his books yet… its good to have something in reserve.
Confused the main blog says he’s one of your favourite authors and in the comments section you say you haven’t picked up any of his books – does this mean you read books via some sort of psychic ability we havent heard about yet ?
But yes loved his thursday books (though like most series the first two or three were the best)
Easily explained. The main post was written by my stunt-double, Sister Jane.
you know I looked twice to see if it was you that posted but didn’t spot it even though it’s quite plain (at least on the reply page.
Oh well still prefer my psychic reading explanation
And I think Jasper would appreciate it too! You can easily tell skud’s sister from skud’s sister’s brother – the lumps in the sweater are higher up and I’m much better looking….
It would be even worse if Mary (AKA Skuds’ sister’s brother’s other sister) decided she wanted to have an account here.
No, that would be easy – she’d still be Baby Skuds just like she was at school…
