Something Unrelated to Harry Potter (Jasper Fforde)

[KathyK]

Hi Everyone,

My friend and I hopped a train to New York City today to see Jasper
Fforde at Partners & Crime book store.  He spoke a bit about writing
in general, writing the newest Thursday Next novel, and took questions
from the audience before signing books.

I just wanted to share because I think he is brilliant and wonderful.  I 
sometimes forget (usually in being caught up with Harry Potter) how much 
I love his novels. I highly recommend them.  He is also as entertaining 
and clever in person as you would expect him to be in reading his books.  
If you live anywhere near those places he's visiting, I strongly 
recommend going to see him.

I am completely torn between re-reading Deathly Hallows and reading
this new Thursday Next.  I cannot handle two obsessions at once!

KathyK, who nearly didn't go because it was rainy today but is extremely 
glad she did
