Acey Member	posted 05-23-2006 02:40 PM Scarecrow! ARGH! I totally forgot i hadn't replied to your email, i am SO sorry, i read them and am like "yeah, ok, lovely, i'll reply in a mo" and then i just assume i have... because why would i not just reply as soon as i've read it, how silly. Sorry. To all Fforde readers out there: The Eyre Affair is first book right? And should i read Jane Eyre before i read it, because i can't be bothered to be honest, Austen, or Bronte, or whoever wrote Eyre really isn't my bag. If i jump to "Something Rotten" do you think Fforde'll mind? IP: Logged

If i jump to "Something Rotten" do you think Fforde'll mind? Aw! You're going to read Fforde! That just makes me happy! You definitely don't have to read Jane Eyre first, in my opinion. I didn't and I was just fine. Missnikk may have a different opinion. But, yes, The Eyre Affair is first, then Lost in a Good Book, then The Well of Lost Plots, then Something Rotten. I would suggest reading them in order because things do correlate between them. IP: Logged
Acey Member	posted 05-23-2006 02:53 PM Great, that's good then. But will not reading Jane Eyre be a problem, because i'll gagging to start reading it - seeing as i bought it being unsure whether i should read it due to my book-purchasing obsessive compulsive disorder. IP: Logged
PlantANote Member	posted 05-23-2006 03:45 PM Hey! Have you by any chance gotten an email from me today? Because I wrote three emails and haven't gotten any responses from any of the three recipients, now I'm worried they never got to their intended readers... Let me know!

I was more concerned with the email that I wrote to guy I bought my car from because he hasn't responded... he better not be ignoring me because he still has my car that I've paid for. IP: Logged

Oh that's a bit vexing, the fact that you handed over the money and you are still short of a car. I'm sure it'll all be lovely though, you've done nothing for the universe to hate you a steal your money, it's fine. How's the hair, still knicker-wettingly gorgeous? So yeah, Scarecrow (and Aelphaba's Afterlife too, where ever you may be) is totally owe to a big, impressive, incredibly witty email to make up for it. I appologise profusely. Seriously. I'm actually really upset at myself for just not getting round to it. I don't wear guilt well, doesn't suit. Sorry. IP: Logged

You'll be fine! Oh, and seriously, read 'Jane Eyre', regardless of whether it ties in with the Fforde books or not. Not keen on the big dead female authors myself, but 'Jane Eyre' is different for so many, many reasons which I'm happy to browbeat you with until you give in and read it. Hope your evening activity has been better than mine. Never go on a blind date arranged by a well-meaning friend... Oy. IP: Logged

Do tell, if you don't mind, what was so bad about it? Usually they're pretty funny stories... [This message has been edited by Plant a Note (edited 05-23-2006).] IP: Logged

helenbooktrip Moderator	posted 05-23-2006 11:18 PM you know what i like? i good vaccuum cleaner!! all my life i have been cursed with crumby vaccuum cleaners! when i worked as a sort of janitor cleaning a family friends office once a week, the vaccuum cleaner SUCKED! (and not in the way that it supposed to ) i have to drag around the big dirt collecting part and the hose end was just crappy! very..unmanageable...is that a word? and then at out old house, we had central-vac! NEVER GET CENTRAL-VAC!! it is such a pain in the bum-bum! but now, seeing as we couldn't bring the central-vac with us to the new house here, we had to buy a new vaccuum cleaner. i am VERY happy with this new vaccuum cleaner! it has different setting for hard wood and carpet and different lengths of carpet! it has a detachable part that you can carry when vaccuuming the stairs! it has all different attachments and nozzles! my favorite is the Turbo Brush attachment. it makes me happy. i am very happy to finally have a vaccuum cleaner that doesnt make me want to jump up and down on it until it breaks and all the dirt goes everywhere!! PHEW! so there you go! some good old, nonsensical (sp?)general chinwagging!! enjoy. IP: Logged

If i jump to "Something Rotten" do you think Fforde'll mind? feels insanely happy You'll love Fforde! The Eyre Affair is the first book. I've never read Jane Eyre, and I don't think you really need to. But don't skip book 1, or it will get confusing. Book 2 is my favorite, though it really has no plot. (To quote Fforde: Girl loses boyfriend. Doesn't get him back. The end.) Oh, GSD. I love those books. I like Fforde as much as I like Maguire, at least. They're very British-funny. You'll adore them. Check his website out, too, after you've read them. PaN, have you been there? It's excellent. IP: Logged

[This message has been edited by Plant a Note (edited 05-23-2006).] Oh it wasn't dreadful by any means, it was just that the guy my friend had set me up with was, well, a bit too nice, a bit, well, bland, I suppose. Why do I like bastards so much? Also, his favourite topic of conversation turned out to be 'Big Brother', which I cannot abide. I tried to steer the conversation into more literary waters but I was torpedoed by a broadside about 'The Apprentice' of which, again, I am not a fan. So I'm not sure it could ever work... Oh, and, Acey, if your e-mail's working again, I've just sent you one to enliven Wanky Wednesday (official term for a blue-rinse-matinee day when on tour). IP: Logged

PlantANote Member	posted 05-24-2006 11:36 AM It's really complicated. It involves my boyfriend and the place he works and how they treat him like a mule. I'm just so mad I could put my fist through a wall. IP: Logged
