Oh, Look!

More Books! What a... surprise. ;-) The rest of our Amazon.co.uk order showed up today (we got the UK version of Harry Potter VI last week). Of course, I haven't even finished reading HP6 yet. If I could muster enough concentration through all the phlegm and such, I've certainly had time to finish it. Anyway, we also got:

- The Big Over Easy by Jasper Fforde. Not another Thursday Next novel, this one is a detective story involving nursery rhymes. Which reminds me, I still haven't finished his last Thursday Next book, Something Rotten.

- Brightonomicon, the latest from Robert Rankin. I'm looking forward to starting this one. How can I not, with a beginning such as this:

It was the day before yesterday.
And I was dead.
I confess that I found this circumstance somewhat dispiriting, for I had always been of the opinion that a long and prosperous life lay ahead of me. To be so suddenly deprived of existence, and at such an early age, seemed grossly unfair and I determined to take the matter up with God at the first possible opportunity and register my extreme displeasure.

Mmmmmmmmmmm.. Jasper Fforde is tasty!

Aye. It seems as I've gotten older, my taste in fiction is running toward the sillier.

You've read Christopher Moore, right? Way silly.
