Just finished "One of Our Thursday's Is Missing"

Latest in the 'Thursday Next' series.  Alternative universe where the main character can travel into the world of books.

by Jasper Fforde: http://www.jasperfforde.com

 

Slowly starting:

"How to Live Safely in a Science Fictional Universe" by Charles Yu

so far it mentions the Skywalker family.

Oh, good, I thought my wife and I were the only Ffordeophiles around.

How did you like it?  I'm about half way through...  Kind of missing Thursday...  though Thursday is a relatively good replacement.  All of the wittyness of the Literary world is sort of wearing thin on me... I've just read about the Professor trying to spontaneously create metaphor for several pages... let's get back to the cliffhanger from First Among Sequels already!

Speaking of- I think First Among Sequels might be my favourite in the series.  It took a long time to get rolling, or so I thought.  I was concerned that it was a mostly unrelated series of mad camp adventures without much of a through-line...  But it shocked me with how it pulled everything together to provide a focused plot.  Hoping OOOTIM does the same.

Also really looking forward to a Shades of Grey sequel as well.
