That's- wow.

I interviewed this guy about his poetry a year ago, for the university newspaper. He also asked me out for coffee but I kept missing his calls and eventually it never happened.

Small world. I guess I should pimp his poetry book in way of an apology and recommend keeping an eye out for that first novel, A Pain to Love. He explained the entire plot to me and it sounded pretty funny.

Speaking of book-related surprises, how did I not know there was a new Jasper Fforde out? Who *cough*namedrop*cough* I also met and is lovely. I can imagine him getting on spiffily with Neil Gaiman and Pterry. Haven't read the book yet but I'm sure it's marvellous so go forth and buy.

And since this is a post of pimpage with a Fforde mention, in conclusion: eat more toast.

edit: Wow, that was some truly sucky HTML there. Sigh.
