  1. I've reread:The Woman Who Died a Lot by Jasper Fforde in anticipation of the release of Dark Reading Matter on the 3rd of June 2025.

    Edit: Sadly the release date has slipped to August 8th 2026.

    I love the Thursday Next universe and how Fforde manages to find a new angle for each novel in the series.

    In The Woman Who Died A Lot, Thursday is middle aged and hasn't recovered from her injuries, rendering her incapable of jumping into the bookworld. She still has to deal with Goliath and Jack Shit's scheming. As well as the stupidity surplus an impending smiting by the global standard deity and the vestiges of the disbanded chronoguard as well as Gavin Watkins.

    I have been waiting for Dark Reading Matter for over a decade and am feeling a little guilty as it is obvious that writing it was difficult for Fforde.

    I've read everything he's published in the mean time, but still, a final Thursday novel is a wonderful treat.

    P.S.

    Perhaps the stupidity surplus can explain recent developments in our universe.

  6. Reader, I celebrated #ReadABookDay!
    Today is the day to grab a book - maybe from our #FIDAAC collection?
    From #classics like this early 1850 Tauchnitz edition of #JaneEyre to Jasper Fforde's #ThursdayNext #AlternateHistory / #sciencefiction series, today is for all booklovers!

  8. And everyone who reads #FanFiction and works in #InfoSec snickers when they read the article about the security bypass service "OTP Agency".

    It also makes me think of Jasper Fforde's #ThursdayNext series.

  9. @bomkatt The “Thursday Next” series by Jasper Fforde is also wonderful!

  13. OMG i wonder what #ThursdayNext and #JasperFforde think of the chatbot apocalypse.

    The Well of Lost Plots is overflowing with boring fluent robots

  14. @Zahlenzauberin
    Ich mag die #ThursdayNext Reihe von #JasperFforde auch sehr gerne, vielleicht sollte ich das Mal wieder lesen ... Danke für die Anregung!
