Last night I headed to Powells to see Jasper Fforde do a reading. In person he reminded me a bit of Christopher Moore, but isn't quite as out there. Paul and Kristin, not surprisingly, were there. I'll miss seeing them at book readings (and only at book readings) after I move. Perhaps I'll discover folks in Seattle with a similarly familiar taste in books.

I picked up Fforde's latest, The Big Over Easy, along with Audrey Niffenegger's The Time Traveler's Wife, Minister Faust's The Coyote Kings of the Space Age Bachelor Pad and Robert Rankin's The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse. On the way into the store I'd sold three books I'd read recently (due to bookshelf space issues, not disinterest) so only ended up one book ahead.
