Famous Shoutout
I think it was last year that Jasper Fforde gave us a pep talk.
My fiancé is currently reading what I believe is his most recent book, One of Our Thursdays is Missing. I was leafing through it and found "the map" at the front of the book. *
Check it out!
Zoom in!
Now that's what I call a shoutout!

Re: Famous Shoutout
Heh, nice little reference. :)
Re: Famous Shoutout
That is so neat!
Re: Famous Shoutout
I love that!
Re: Famous Shoutout
HA! We're famous! And why not? NaNo is a land unto itself!
Re: Famous Shoutout
Um... I think NaNo was a river, maybe a bay.
Re: Famous Shoutout
This is beautiful. I never would have expected to see that in a published map!
Re: Famous Shoutout
Oh my god! Guess who is going to read that book right now!
Re: Famous Shoutout
It's #6 of a series. I recommend reading the first 5 if you haven't done so already:
1. The Eyre Affair
2. Lost in a Good Book
3. The Well of Lost Plots
4. Something Rotten
5. First Among Sequels
6. One of Our Thursdays is Missing
You won't be sorry. Jasper Fforde kind of dances on that fine line between genius and madness. The universe he's created goes beyond the fantastic and into the surreal. He's almost like Terry Pratchett.
