As a new convert to the Thursday Next books, I'm only halfway through the second one. (I'm a slow reader, and limited opportunities to read anyway, but I'm getting there)
Anyhoo, I just wanted to say, I'm loving the wordplay on the character names. And every time I see the name Jack Schitt it makes an extra smile, and I'll share with you why.
My daughter was in the maternity ward after having her baby boy, and started chatting to another new mum, with a baby boy.
"what's his name" she asked, "Jack" says the other new mum. "Oh, I like the name Jack, but with my surname of Smith, it reminded me too muck of Jack Shit" laughed my daughter.
"my surname is Smith" stated the other new mum.
Luckily she transfered to her local maternity unit not long afterwards, so didn't have to endure the cringing every time she saw the other lady.:D
