Until I figure out how to make this private, if anyone should stumble upon it, please understand I intend this as a basic "log" of books I read, etc., so I can keep track...and stop getting books that I've already read, or not being able to recommend ones I loved, because I don't remember the info.
And on that note, Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde (2009 or 2010) is a LOVE, although it's not the Thursday Next series - but it's got the same ridiculous sense of humor and terrible puns that had me cracking up last night even with crazy high blood sugar levels and a sore surgery site. Hooray for erduite cheesey fun!
I am also currently reading A Reliable Wife (or something like that - not a good sign if I can't remember the title and I started it yesterday) by some dude and The Great Stink by Clare Clark. I think I am going to really like the latter, but I when I got Shades from Widener it was already requested by someone else, so I had to abandon the Clark so I could finish the Fforde before it was due back.
Reliable Wife seemed pretty boring/predictable so far, but, to be fair, I picked it up on a whim at Barnes & Noble for a plane ride, and ended up starting it yesterday after a 3+ day debauch of Roman proportions in our nation's snow-bound capital, so being exhausted and hung-over and unshowered, the day AFTER I should have flown home, may have had something to do with my less than favorable impression. We'll see - the Globe called it a smart pot-boiler or something like that, which could be fun. May save it for a day when I am too hungover to concentrate on a real book, but not so hungover that over-wrought adjectives make me queasy.
