So glad I was able to go! He gave a great talk and reading, took questions, was very funny and I got a button. Even though he'd already signed several books before I got up there he still took the time to chat with me. Mentioned the twinning of Swindon and Walt Disney World then, because I was too shy to raise my hand during Q&A. I think he's pretty amused by that. He's working on the next Next book, and I'm wondering if he'll work that in.

I loved the bit in the last Thursday Next book where they went to Wales to do some cheese smuggling.

Me too! I think I'll have to re-read that series soon. Although after hearing him talk about this book and read from it, I'm very excited to start it. I've just got to get through some library books first, before I have to return them.
