Jasper Fforde

I am reading'The Fourth Bear' by Jasper Fforde. The second book in his Nursery Crime series. I am not as big a fan of this series as his Thursday Next novels, which my daughter (the Librarian) got me started on, with 'The Eyre Affair'. I guess you have to love the bizarre a little to like these books, but I enjoy them. The big excitement is that he will have another Thursday Next novel out in July 2007. 'The War of the Words.' I was afraid he had quit writing Thursday Next novels when he started the Nursery Crime series.
