If you like Douglas Adams, or Terry Pratchett, you might like Fforde. I first heard of him when he did an interview on NPR in which he read a passage from his then latest book, where <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet">Hamlet</A>, prince of Denmark, is forced to decide what kind of coffee to get when he steps into a modern (198x) coffee shop and is bewildered by the insurmountable choices (Hamlet being well known for his indecisiveness). Maybe you had to be there.</P> <P>I was pleased to learn than Fforde's next book will be a <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thursday_Next">Thursday Next</A> novel.</P> <P>Tonight I went to see the Australian film <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jindabyne_%28film%29">Jindabyne</A>. See it if you get the chance.</P> http://www.wdlabs.com/twilight/entry/20060806.2159
