  1. @inthehands some of those agents might prove more accident-prone than they are aware they are, in some future time?

  6. Finished Red Side Story! Satisfying ending that leaves me hoping for the third one.

    I was introduced to Jasper Fforde’s books when I was a student and enjoyed the Thursday Next series a lot, though the later books were a bit weaker. The spin-off Nursery Crimes series was fun, but not quite as good.

    In 2013, I found another book of his in a charity shop: Shades of Grey. This book was a completely new setting and was absolutely superb. It had been published in 2009 and ended with a reference to two forthcoming sequels, which I assumed would be available soon. A few years passed and they still weren’t out. Eventually, I gave up waiting.

    Over Christmas, a post here made me reply with a Jasper Fforde reference and I went to see if he’d written anything recently, only to discover that Red Side Story (the sequel) had come out in 2024! Sadly, I can’t remember who borrowed my copy of Shades of Grey. My partner ordered both and they arrived on Friday. I reread Shades of Grey yesterday and Red Side Story today. Absolutely worth the wait.

    No spoilers, but it’s a great ending that leaves open the chance of follow-on books but doesn’t feel like an unfinished story (unlike the first one, which very much felt like a Part 1).

    And now back to the stack of books I got for Christmas. I only finished four of them before rereading Shades of Grey, so have a nice pile left.

  16. Das Leben war so schön, bis "Sie" kamen, mit ihrer komischen Religion, ihren viel zu vielen Kindern und ihrem aggressiven Veganismus. Klar ist, die Kaninchen müssen weg. Das wird man ja wohl noch sagen dürfen.

  21. Choose your fighter: multiverse edition

    Alternate universes and traveling between worlds are just plain fun, and finishing reading Natania Barron's 2011 debut novel tonight got me thinking about some of the other media I've loved that had characters traveling between parallel worlds. So let's see. Let's look at three of the different universes on my shelves and pick our favorites.

  24. And that’s it. I finished „Red Side Story“ by Jasper Fforde. I guess this concludes what he started with „Shades of Grey“ (no, not THAT one!) over a decade earlier. There is of course enough to continue the story but I don’t believe he will. Surprising number of plot twists along the way. I guess I will have to re-read the first part now. It has been ten years or so at least…
