Frith O’Steen

Ok, so July is just turning out to the be the month of awesome authors releasing awesome books! In my previous post, I of course raved about my allegiance to JK Rowling and her fantastic novels. Well, there is another pretty great writer whom I was lucky enough to go hear speak last night in SF with Tully and my dad. His name is Jasper Fforde, and he is fflipping ffunny! He’s written a number of books about a literary detective named Thursday Next, and I really can’t describe them well enough to do them justice, so to crib a line directly from the author himself: “Trust me - just read it!”. I wore my very geeky “Jurisficition” tshirt and brought my new book with me for him to sign, and it was just so cool to meet the man and listen to a very entertaining talk from a very imaginative person!

For those who haven’t had the opportunity to try a Jasper Fforde book yet, trust me - just read it!
