# bizarre
I've just read that same question in Jasper Fforde's 'The Well of Lost Plots'. As such, I'm going to answer A.A. Milne

EDIT: Ah, too late as usual. Anyway, it was Milne. Kenneth Grahame wrote The Wind in the Willows.

# That is precisely where I stole it from.
I am just finishing 'Something Rotten' and then I have an uncorrected bound proof of 'Lost in a good book' which apparently sports an entirely different ending (I am hoping that she recovers Landen in it) to attack.

I think it might be hard going to read something I know and look for the changes - I may skip through by mistake and miss them.

# reminds me
I must find out where my hardback copy of Something Rotten has gotten to. I ordered it a month ago.

Just finishing Well of Lost Plots and then stuck for what to read next. I have First Among Sequels ready and waiting but need to read Something Rotten first.

EDIT: Spanged play.com on the head and cancelled the order. Ordered it from Amazon who say they have it in stock. yay :)

# Ah!
Where is my copy of 'First Among Sequels'?

Have you read The Big Over Easy and The Fourth Bear?

# now there is a truly shit book
it's so very pleased with itself, and spends so much time being smug that it forgets to be any good

# I agree to an extent.
The previous 2 and the last one are excellent, as are the Jack Spratt books, but TWOLP is a bit of a let down.

It is still a very good read, but nothing like as good as the others.
