to The Eyre Affair last week and I would say that it is a bit longish. But I so loved the puns and double entendres that it was worth it and it made me want to read more of Fforde.

The Bridegroom is hailed as both comical and deeply moving. In "After Cowboy Chicken Came to Town," the Chinese workers at an American-style fast-food franchise receive a hilarious crash course in marketing, deep-frying, and that frustrating capitalist dictum, 'The customer is always right.' Sounds like a great read.

Thanks!
