Ha! You won't get a discussion that stays on topic long enough to lift it off...
Why do I hang about the fforum? Mostly because it gives me somewhere with people who share a sense of humour, but also because I have no social life.
I'm not sure we 'discuss' anything. Well, sometimes we do. The link to the Thursday Next books is occasionally tenuous, but mostly absent altogether. Most of us have read all three books, but that's more a reason to discover this place rather than to keep coming back.
Mr Ff has been known to pop in whenever a question has arisen, and he reads it quite often. When he was writing the third book (I hope you've all done your homework and read it) he asked for some suggestions for a part of it, and we were happy to oblige. If you search around the site you'll find parts of it that have been provided by regualrs here, such as Jon's guides for non-Brits, and my guide to posting here.
Mr Ff is the type of author who likes to get feedback, and I suspect enjoys to see some of the parodies and jokes that accumulate here. He has been very helpful in the launching of a fanzine-type effort, Whatever Next, which is available at
http://www.jasperffordeffanclub.com/.
If you really want to see hown this fforum works, leave a random comment in any thread that catches your eye. Then watch it blossom into another entirely different topic within 24 hours.
Anyways, enjoy....
