Jen, that is great to hear! I actually ended up buying Last Dragonslayer and Song of the Quarkbeast through Amazon Canada (I love the internet) so I wouldn't have to wait...but then haven't gotten around to starting them due to other reading deadlines for work. Also, I was kind of curious why no one had really posted anything about these books in the forum yet, so I'm glad to see they are being read! Looking forward to wedging them in with my "required" reading!!!
Just finushed LD and I have to agree it was classic Fforde...great humor, a well-paced story and a unique twist on his theme. This time he takes on magic and does so with flair and fun. It's not light though, and he sneaks in some thought provoking needles at globalization, ecology, sustainability and politics before you even notice you've been schooled.
