Thursday Next has arrived in LLMs:

In Jasper Fforde's novels the characters in the books within the books become confused by direct speech, if there is no "Thursday said:" before the speech. Basically a prompt injection by role confusion...

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.

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!

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.

For my next read I’m going to see how Thursday Next is getting on #Goodreads #ReadingChallenge #Bibliophile #Bookworm #CurrentlyReading #JasperFforde #ThursdayNext

Uriah Heep macht hier kein Konzert, auch nicht mit Fröschen. Gutes Buch, Urban Fantasy, ein wenig #Tintenherz oder #ThursdayNext, aber in Neuseeland. #fantasyromane #UrbanFantasy #Buchstodon #Bookstodon

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

The Well of Lost Plots is overflowing with boring fluent robots

@wallflower

I have to agree 100%

#ThursdayNext series is amazing and was my introduction to his work

I'm dying for another #NurseryCrimes though. He replied to a comment of mine on instagram a while ago and hinted that one was in the offing. So keep everything crossed!

#TheLastDragonslayer is great too - but haven't finished them all yet.
The only series I haven't read yet is the Shades of Grey ones.

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