# So do I
It is odd reading the Nursery Crime ones, as they are based where I live. Can wait to read his new one, where the class system is based on what colours and how many you can see

# I liked those best
the fourth bear is very good.

Thursday Next went a bit weak in the middle, but First Among Sequels is coming along nicely.

# I organise a Jasper Fforde ffiesta in Swindon now and again
He asked me to (it's a long story). You should come. It's not a convention, it's much much more surreal and funny than that.

edit: Have a link www.ffordeffiesta.com/

# The next one takes place in 1985
well it's actually in 2010, but we are theming the whole thing as a 1985 event.

We will be staging "Hamlet - Prince of Zombies", which features the classic line "To Not To Be, Or To Not To Not To Be - That Is The Question"
