Seeing as the last topic dissapeared. Does anybody apart from Fuzzylobster (who it appears is my subconscious) read Jasper Ffrode

Finally, I've found someone who's heard of him. I was beginning to think he was a figment of my imagination.

I've read all the Nursery books, but I've only read two from Thursday Next.

No Nero, he's not a good writer. Because, you know, all we've had to say about him in this thread is that he sucks... :P

Seriously, he's weird, but a good author. His books are very original.

Fine, don't have to be so cruel... :P
But look at Eragon; I'll say it's somewhat exciting with horrible prose and characters and...oh hell, everything else.

Eragon? < Meaning, why did you use that as an example.
V Talking about Fforde
Well, his prose isn't exactly excellent, I'll grant you. But his ideas and the plot is what makes it funny.

I have read all his books ( :spock: )

Realizing of course, that most of it is copied straight from other people.

You can get sued for that, you know. It's called plagarism.

Eragon written by Jasper Fforde.

There's an idea.
