The Well of Lost Plots - Jasper Fforde

More Thursday Next literary whimsy involving Miss Havisham road-racing Mr Toad, a rampaging minotaur and Solomon franchising out his wisdom. This is the third in the series and Fforde has straightened out some of the plotting problems of book two allowing the jokes to come to the fore. A debate about the prevalence of the awkward constructions "had had" and "that that" is inspired, and many of the jokes comment entertainingly about the disparity between the fictional world as written and the actual world as experienced. Take this, at the end of a long conversation:

"Mr Grnksghty?"
"Yes?"
"How do you pronounce your name?"
