Yes, I've visited this website a few times.  My favourite part is the 
Extreme Thursday Next section.  Where people take pics of themselves in 
extreme places reading a Thursday Next book.  My fav is the one from this 
teen in his bedroom..he says it's a place not many people have been to.

Yes, July is bringing me two wonderful lit surprises in a new Jasper Fforde 
novel and a new Harry Potter book..someone out there must know how boring 
summer stock (in Wisconsin no less) can be!

I should bring my thursday next books with me and take some pics...maybe 
I'll be able to get in the extreme section of the website!

I think the sense of humour in Fforde's books are in the same vain as the 
underlying adult humour that is in alot of the Harry Potter novels..it is 
such a breath of fresh air to read something that doesn't take itself so 
seriously that it's a chore to read.
