Lloved Fforde for years. He can be outre and sly. And if you can him when he's sly you feel like Brian Cox. But have a sneaky suspicion he's just thrown you a Roy "Chubby" Brown line anyway.
Glad you like him too.
I think I sent some of my old Ffordes to Em in Kenya (still alive at least) but if I have any I'll dig them out. The Thursday Next books are worth reading in order, just to ensure coherence. Funnily enough, time jumps around a little. Characters appear and disappear with dizzying speed because of the ChonoGuard, ditto villains. Better to know where you stand even before he makes your brain explode.
Down with the Cheese Board I say!

Ha! I thought this seemed like it would be right up your alley, so to speak ;p I must have missed your Eyre Affair review.
Have you read Shades of Grey, too?
I am loving the Eyre Affair.
I suspect I'll be on a Fforde jag for a while now. And I would generally read in order anyway. Even if novels are standalone, if there's any kind of a link between them I'll do them in order. Can't bear the thought that an in-universe joke or reference might be missed otherwise lol
@ Clod: let us know how you get on with it. Also, which Hamilton are you finishing up?
