Speaking of Jasper Fforde, I finally finished The Well of Lost Plots. The concept of a whole world of characters, plots, etc., is very clever. Fforde has an ingenious imagination and his use of literary allusions and puns is very funny. The central character, Thursday Next, also features in Something Rotten which is waiting for me at home.

Meanwhile I've started High Fidelity by Nick Hornby. It begins with the central character's top five most memorable split-ups. Easy to read and very amusing so far.
