      <description><![CDATA[Hi Hdcreepy.
To answer your question and also extend an invitation, you will find that this was discussed in Nextian Chat, The book-specific threads tend to br busy just after a book launches, but soon become quite quiet. 

Most of us spend our time in the genteel anarchy and well-mannered lunacy that is Nextian. The other advantage is that all the food and drink is stored there. I am the main main supplier of pies, sweet and savoury, so if you drop in, just help yourself.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[De Havilland Mosquitoes do appear in the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Sea_Sharks]Tintin story[/url], so these are probably alluded to in the coded message. Doubtless Jasper Fforde refers to them as well.

However, chevrette bleue does not strictly mean blue goat. It may mean little blue goat, but the name usually refers to an insect called [url=http://www.cartage.org.lb/fr/themes/sciences/zoologie/divanimaux/Arthropodes/insects/Col%E9opt%E8res/Chevrette.htm]Platycerus caraboides[/url], a kind of beetle that I'm unable to find an English name for. Its significance in either book is dark to me.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[&quot;Mosquitos have stung the blue goat&quot; puzzled me when I first read it as well.  After a bit of research I think I might have an explanation. Mosquitos seems to refer to the Mosquito bomber used in WW2 - it was used for recon as well so that could refer to the SpecOps staling out Styx.  The stung could refer to Acheron being spotted in styx's flat.  that just leaves the blue goat.  now the Luftwaffe flying jacket was blue cloth with a goat fleece lining. so that would fit in the mosquito bomer idea.  given JF's interest in planes, i believe this is a probable explanation.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I would love to see the Thursday Next series made into movies for the big screen! I  live in Canada, and the books definitely need to be made more popular there; practically no one knows who Fforde is!!! It's a travesty!!

If they did make a movie though, and the people making it, for some inexplicable reason, came talent-scouting in the prairies of Alberta, and I magically turned into a big film star, and I could magically look like whatever part I wanted, I'm actually not sure if I'd want to play Thursday. I might rather be someone like Miss Havisham or one of the Hades family, simply because I think I'd have more fun a) being an insane melodramatic killer, or b) driving round crazily and whacking men with sticks.

as you will have noticed, the book-specific forums tend to be quite quiet after the book has been around for a while. You will find far more activity in the &quot;Nextian Chat&quot; forum, where there are games, cyber food (I specialise in pies), serious, semi-serious and downright silly discussions on all topics. Few of the residents bite, so feel free to make yourself known over there.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I discovered a play on words that I haven't seen included in Jon's notes or any of the other references I've read so far (granted, I'm sure I've not read *everything* on TEA!).  In the second chapter, we are introduced to Thursday's co-worker Paige Turner.  Jasper is clever - he never uses both names together, just alternates them at will.  But when I realized they are one and the same person, I chuckled over the appropriateness of a term that fits his own books so well!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[I'm re-reading TEA and found something in the above-named chapter that I hadn't realized first time around.  To avoid starting a new thread, I'll tack it onto this one.

Thursday enters 'Jane Eyre', yes - but does she actually do so entirely on her own?   There's a Japanese tourist lady who reads the lines to her, and I'm pretty sure it must be Mrs. Nakajima.  Thursday gets *read into* the story!!]]></description>

So i want to know if there was a movie based on TEA who do you think would play what character??

I'm guessing maybe Keira Knightly or Charlize Theron as Thursday
David Tennant as Landen
Jack Black as Jack Schitt
Jonny Depp or Mike Myers as Hades

Who else do you think would play a character in TEA and for what role?]]></description>

I am now going to focus on reading Jane Eyre and of course the Next (pardon the pun) books in the Thursday series!!

Also if you want to get a good idea of what the book Jane Eyre is like borrow the movie! it's really good and very entertaining!!

Who do you guys think would be good as Jach Schitt? Damy Divito? Jack Black?

I think that a movie would be better as it would get more addvertising and more people would go out and watch it.... it would also make the books more popular (not that they need it) lol!]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Hi NickyG, welcome to the asylum.

You stand some chance of getting some help here as you have put some thought into it already: people who have asked for someone else to write their project usually get very short shrift!

Besides the punning names, don't forget that JFf also uses objects as names (Bowden Cable for example) and don't concentrate on putting in so many names that you lose your story!

Good luck]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Rghto G,day Guys this is my first post and i would like to get your help on a few things. For Literature at school we have to write another chapter in the style of Jasper FForde. I'm looking to go into The importance of being Earnest and have a vigilante group steal Bunbury from the Original Manuscript which changes the story into what we know today. But i need some pun names to introduce into the story.

First off i need a Police officer or Spec Ops person who will be the constable or equvilent reporting to Toad news about a break in. So far i was thing Abel N. Willing as his name, 

Secondly i need a pun of Oscar Wildes name or a relative of his that i can put in. Please if anybody can help it would be great.]]></description>

Most of the inmates are quite safe, but watch out for anyone offering you Battenburg.]]></description>
