Book Description
Jasper Fforde has done it again in this genre-bending blend of crime fiction, fantasy, and top-drawer literary entertainment. After two rollicking New York Times bestselling adventures through Western literature, resourceful literary detective Thursday Next definitely needs some downtime. And what better place for a respite than in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside? But peace and quiet remain elusive for Thursday, who soon discovers that the Well is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books—like the one she has taken up residence in—are scrapped for salvage. To make matters worse, a murderer is stalking the personnel of Jurisfiction and it's up to Thursday to save the day. A brilliant feat of literary showmanship filled with wit, fantasy, and effervescent originality, this Ffordian tour de force is the most exciting Thursday Next adventure yet.

A good read, But.......2007-04-18
Hmm, it's a good book but I think that the series was a lot more fun when it was in the real world and not set entirely in the Book world.
I never really bought into the central plot device and I really didn't feel that the whole UltraWord® thing was fleshed out enough to make it that important not to mention that several of the drawbacks of it seem kind of tacked on.
All in all I think that this is definitely worth reading but not nearly as good as the first two Thursday Next novels and I definitely liked the Nursery Crime books better. They seem to take themselves less seriously and are just more fun.
A funny romp `behind the scenes' of literature........2007-04-07
I thoroughly enjoyed Jasper Fforde's "The Well of Lost Plots", the third in his Thursday Next series. In this fantasy/mystery "outlanders", i.e. real people, may enter books and interact with the characters. Thursday does so hoping for a rest but soon becomes tangled in a plot that will shake up all of literature. There is corruption, intrigue and murder!
At the same time, she must deal with Aornis Hades, her enemy from earlier books who is trying to make her forget her husband. This insidious being has the ability to make a person lose memories.
There are plenty of writing puns and jokes sprinkled through the story as well as literary references. Miss Havisham, the Cheshire Cat and Humpty Dumpty play a role. We also meet `generics', background characters that writers create but do not `flesh out'. Thursday helps a couple of them become more interesting characters.
This story and the fascinating world Fforde has created is quite inventive. I don't know yet how this compares to the other volumes in the series but I look forward to reading those and letting you know.
I am amazed.......2007-03-22
My first book by Jasper Fforde was The Eyre Affair and I didn't really like it. I just couldn't connect with its main character Thursday Next. She wasn't real to me. And only the book's version of England and the other characters in the book kept me somewhat interested.
Not expecting that to change I read The Well of Lost Plots and my indifference to Fforde's work turned into amusement, amazement and then devotion. Thursday Next is still not real to me but she's become the familiar narrator of a wonderful world. Jasper Fforde has tons of ideas and they range from interesting to endearing to hilarious to amazing and so on and so forth.
Thursday Next, who already traveled into books in The Eyre Affair, has found refuge in `the book world' where characters out of fiction live their lives inside and outside their books. One of the many amazing facts we learn is that books are not created by authors but in fact are just transmitted to their pens out of the book world. We also learn that the first operating system book world was called OralTrad, which was then upgraded by the rhyming OralTradPlus (for easier recall), followed by a split into CaveDaubPro and the picto-phonetic storytelling systems which started with ClayTablet V2.1 and eventually ended in the current version of book V8.3. We also learn why we are still waiting for Godot and what happens when books get scrapped.
If you haven't read any of the Thursday Next novels pick this one to start with. If you have read one and weren't enthused try this one and change your mind the way I did. I've ordered the second of the series and am looking forward to the fourth and then the Next one. Pun intended.
Has Thursday Next jumped the shark? .......2007-03-16
Is it too early to suggest that Jasper has jumped the shark? Maybe, but I'm less indulgent about whether Thursday Next has.
Was it sophisticated intentional irony to set a book in a world of chaotic, unfinished, badly written drafts that itself feels chaotic, unfinished and badly written? I carped at Fforde in `Lost in a Good Book' that he'd be better off dropping his pretensions of plot (particularly an `overplot' for the series) and running with enjoyable stand alone surreal episodes. Here he barely bothers: Thursday can't remember Landon but then - after a mere page of unintegrated dream flapdoodle - she can. How nice. Meanwhile she's still done nothing to attempt to restore this supposed core love of her life. OK, lets dismiss the utterly unsatisfying overplot, what about the one for this novel? UltraWord(tm). Oh, I get it - it's a bit like Microsoft. Ho ho, smirk. This joke (I think it'd be stretching things to call it satire) works for about a paragraph - yet he milks this baby dry. Pageturner 1.3. Bookmark version 2.6 (or whatever), Jasper, we get it already.
OK, so the series plot has stalled, and the central one of this particular book is weak. `Lost plots' indeed. Still, plot's never been his strong point - let's get onto some of his traditional strengths: amusing Douglas Adams style leaps of imagination, and charming characters. Well, for the former, yeah, OK, there are some cool ideas here and there (although I'm struggling a bit to recall them, um, maybe the generics. And I did like the way this book connected with `The Big Over Easy'. The mispeling vyrus was mildly amusing the first time - ah, hey, it's misspelt - Oh, Jaaaaasper) - and the whole notion of being able to wander into any book at any time has fantastic potential. But a lot of other writers do this better. For a start, Fforde's pool of books is tiny - it's like he did a couple of undergrad literature courses (Austen, Dickens, Bronte, Shakespeare) - even, perhaps just one on classic English literature - and there's not a lot more going on. We're either supposed to feel impressed that he's dropped some names we might have heard of, and/or smug that we get the reference. Hey, I got the Biggles cameo. I didn't feel that smug. More importantly, he name drops classic characters or genres or settings but that's about it. There's not even an attempt to recreate and improvise with them in novel ways. Ms Havisham is probably the one he tries hardest with, but there's not even a whiff of Dickens in more than name. Even if he had've dropped the Havisham name and tried just creating her as a character, there's very little going on of interest between her and Thursday: somehow they're supposed to have this great professional respect between mentor and acolyte, but this is assumed rather than built. So we don't get a rounded new character to enjoy, nor do we get an avatar of an old one. What we get is a lame reference - and it's not enough.
It would be really cool if we suddenly found ourself in a range of novels with a real awareness (and love of) their conventions. An Asimov novel, say, where Thursday would suddenly find herself stacked and doting on some arrogant lead male - or would deliciously subvert this. Or a few pages of Steven King desperation and suspense. Or dropping in some classic characters who act and talk like they did originally - so we're aware why they ever gained their popularity. In pops Sherlock Holmes, with his quirks and methods. Here's Bertie Wooster, and you know what, he's hilarious - no, he's not just called Bertie Wooster, he says the sort of things Bertie would say, with the same exquisite turn of phrase. Alternatively we could find out it's an act, and once he steps off set he's dry and maliciously urbane. It's not, and I think you might have got my point by now, merely Fforde pulling a name of a book and dropping it into this one. It's not enough.
Charm? It feels a bit like Groundhog Day (not overall - this was, in contrast, generally a clever, charming film. Stick with me, I mean it feels like a bit in the film. You'll get it. Sorry, am I going on a bit long in these parentheses?). You know, where Bill Murray has had some lovely romantic moments with Andy McDowell one night, but in trying to recreate them on the next and the one after that he loses the magic, "OK, OK, c'mon, I pat the dog, you laugh, we slip on the snow into each others arms, you're happy, blah blah, can we get on with it." Thursday's friends and family sometimes used to do and say some charming things, here they more sort of hint at them. Most of the dialogue is transactional, "Hey, look out, it's going to get you." Instead of building emotional ties, Jasper goes for the cheap soap opera technique, "Who will die tonight?" Nobody feels much for these characters, but surely if we kill one of them we'll get some sort of response?! Well, Jasper kills a few (again the irritating conventional clanger of suddenly killing off several characters in a week that have supposedly survived lifetimes of danger and intrigue, while the rookie inexplicably lives on to solve the crime), but we have to manufacture the emotion.
Finally, somewhere along the line I stopped liking Thursday. I really was quite fond of her in `The Eyre Affair', but now I'd really rather hang out with someone else. She's still smart, I suppose, but she's not a particularly sympathetic character. "Plock, plock", says Jasper, "I gave her a pregnant dodo, for goodness sake - how much more charm can you want!?" Sorry, it's trimming, it's not enough.
Third in a line of great reads!!.......2007-03-07
Fforde does it again. Thursday Next, still missing her husband and very pregnant, decides to take over for a character in a book. Good idea while she's pregnant. She is still active with the Jurisfiction detectives in Bookworld. But because she has taken over for a character she has to watch for her role everytime it comes up, or she could change the book forever. Aornis, the mind erasing menace, is trying her best to make Thursday forget her husband, but to no avail. I will probably cry when I am done with this series!

"Crack it open and, pow, the story goes off at a tangent.".......2005-09-06
In his previous two novels, Fforde created a wacky, fictional universe in which "real world" characters could transport themselves into books, associate with the characters there, turn back the clock, and even change the endings. Heroine Thursday Next, has saved Jane Eyre from disaster, imprisoned Jack Schitt in Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," and ended the Crimean War, but she has also made enemies of some powerful criminals, one of whom has gone back in time and killed off her husband when he was just a small child. Now, pregnant, she is the only person who can remember him as an adult, and her memory is failing.
Anxious for a rest, she decides to go with her dodo Pickwick to visit the Well of Lost Plots, where all book characters, plots, and settings reside until they are chosen for novels.
In this most literary of Fforde's three novels, Thursday is an apprentice agent-in-training for JurisFiction, the policing agency that works inside books, her mentor and guide being Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. Living inside an unpublished crime thriller, Thursday explores the Great Library, where the Cheshire Cat is librarian, sees the workshop for backstories (some used, some not), meets generic characters ("human canvases without paint") and "orals" (nursery rhyme characters), tours available settings (high-capped mountains, arched stone bridges, ruined castles), and watches as Miss Havisham joyrides in "Chitty Bang Bang." Holesmiths work there fixing holes in narratives, grammatacists try to prevent grammacites (gerunds) and mispeling vyruses from infecting novels, and pace-setters, moodmongers, and plot speculators work on new creations.
As the Well considers installing the UltraWord operating system, which will expand the basic eight-plot architecture into thirty-two plots, Thursday tries to preserve the memory of Landen, fight against her enemies, and win her trial for a fiction infraction. Fforde pulls out all the stops here, creating a carnival ride through books and the creative process with surprises and delights on every page. Less plot-driven than the previous novels, this novel is episodic, with scenes ranging from a Star Wars-type bar scene to a group counseling session for the characters in Wuthering Heights. While Thursday's exact role is not always clear, Fforde's ability to free the reader's imagination and keep him/her involved in the literary world with its infinite possibilities is daunting. Full of satire, parody, puns, literary jokes, and word play, this latest in the Thursday Next series provides hours of entertainment for anyone interested in books and how they "work." pp Mary Whipple

My favorite Holdstock novel.......2007-01-02
Ok, so I'm a big fan of Robert Holdstock's books. I believe I own every one now. The Hollowing is my favorite, even more so than Mythago Wood. Even though these are both books in the "Mythago Cycle", you don't really need to read Mythago Wood first, but it helps.
The Hollowing has such a lush, rich fantasy story that it makes me reread it every so often, and I am still amazed. Some of Holdstock's ideas are a little weird, but if you're reading a fantasy novel you obviously are capable of embracing weird ideas.
If you're a fantasy fan like me (or becoming one) pick this up. It's one of my favorite books ever and my fav from Holdstock.
Missing the green, mossy atmosphere Mythago Wood........2006-09-11
The Hollowing tells the story of Richard Bradley, who lives with his wife Alice and son Alex near Shadoxhurst, on the edge of Rhyope Wood. On the road back from Alex's school play of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, they almost run over a man that looks strangely like Tallis's father James Keeton, who disappeared over a year ago.
Later that night, Keeton knocks on their door, in a dream-like state, clutching one of Tallis's masks. Brought to hospital, he slowly recovers until he has a vision where Tallis comes home, and dies. Alex takes this opportunity to grab the mask and try it on, but is suddenly victim of a violent attack, blown across the room by a strange invisible force.
The boy then lies in a catatonic state for a year, until the wood claims him... and when later the disfigured, unidentifiable body of a youth is found, his parents mournfully conclude it's Alex's. Richard moves to London, and slowly drifts away from his wife, and from his former life.
Six years later, back in Shadoxhurst for a break, he meets a woman named Helen, who tells him Alex is alive but lost in the wood. With much incredulity, he finally joins her gang of hippy scientific explorers, who studying the magic of Rhyope Wood, and goes in search of Alex.
Although the story was, generally speaking, more captivating than in Lavondyss, I thought The Hollowing really lacked the green, woody, mossy atmosphere that was the core of Mythago Wood and that I enjoyed so much. Now I have to admit I'm looking forward to finishing these series so I can move on to more fantastic settings.
No conclusion and a lot of confusion.......2006-07-12
I've just finished the italian translation of this book, that I bought just hoping it would have explained something of the mysteries left by the previous ones. But I have found no explanation of what happened before, no complete end for the present plot. It stops and you don't know if somebody is dead or alive, nor if the heroes will escape the forest. Moreover, a lot of speculative theories borrowed from the worst Jung and the worst smoky psychology and anthropology. It is confuse, foggy, ununderstandable and I really can't understand why somebody can like it. Even though some good ideas are spread here and there (the myths of Jack, Jason and Sarin are the best part), they are like flashes in a dark night: soon lost without trace.
terrific deep fantasy .......2005-05-07
Overcome and unable to move following the death of his son Alexander, Richard Bradley feels he has no reason to live. However, just as his despair overwhelms him Richard meets scientists Alexander Lytton and Helen Silverlock, who believe that the lad still lives, but in some way foreign to human thought in the midst of the mankind's unconsciousness within the dark Ryahope Wood. They further explain that they have studied the wood that is under siege from the mind of its newest entry, Richard's son. Lytton and Silverlock hope that Richard can save their precious wood from his son whose fears are destroying it.
Unable to resist even the slightest hope, Richard follows scientist Arnauld Lacan into the wood where he begins to find a weird world with different natural laws as all myths breath here. However, he fails to find Alexander, whose lament continues to erode the wood. As he penetrates myths and legends with no gain to his quest, Richard loses his last sliver of hope until he encounters Sarin the Tall Grass Lady from biblical times, who if she chooses can help him complete his quest though he does not know if she would and if she does what the outcome would be..
This is a terrific deep fantasy that like its predecessors (see MYTHAGO WOOD and LAVONDYSS) is extremely complex and rich so it will take several days to read to taste the vast flavors. Readers will wander along with Richard savoring various mythos like Jason (some are worth re-reading because one time is not enough) as the multifaceted story line contains so much to grasp. Robert Holdstock is at his mythological best with this Mythago Cycle entry.
Harriet Klausner
The Interdimensional Forest.......2005-02-11
Robert Holdstock has come up with a remarkable literary creation with his Mythago Wood. A deceptively small wooded lot next to an English village turns out to be a vast haunted forest where the laws of time and space are twisted beyond comprehension. The wood is inhabited by figures from the mythologies of many different lands and eras, with scenes powered by the imaginations of the mortals that have found themselves enthralled by the forest. This is a great concept that Holdstock has explored in several books, but unfortunately in this one the concept doesn't come to full fruition. The book starts strongly as the protagonist Richard enters the wood to find the spirit of his son Alex, who is believed by everyone else to be dead, but whose haunted imagination has become one with the even more haunted forest, bringing out the worst of mythological horrors. But for some reason this book drastically loses focus in Part Three, where the chapters start to become detached explorations by Holdstock of various old myths with only tangential connections to the main storyline, including one ridiculously long chapter dwelling on a past-their-prime Jason and the Argonauts. More fundamentally, from beneath all this mythological doodling, Holdstock has not adequately explained either the true workings of Mythago Wood, nor Alex's spiritual connection to it. Holdstock's Mythago Wood premise is surely fascinating, but unfortunately this strangely schizophrenic installment fails to make full use of the concept's potential. [~doomsdayer520~]

Round Earth Reality.......2006-12-01
Finally, a book that provides a counterpoint to Tom Friedman's "Flat Earth" Theory. Extracts and distills the boring economic statistics from the government publications, and guides the reader to understanding and conclusions on what the financial future is going to be like. It is not a "Happy Ending" scenario, but essential reading for the people who care how their children will live in twenty years. Has some irritating typos, but is a landmark attempt by a respected engineer to use his technical skills in order to make some sense out of this economic morass.
Comment on "The Hollowing of America".......2006-10-29
Ned Lamont, Democratic candidate for the U. S. Senate wrote in a letter to the author, "Your insights and predictions about the future of manufacturing in the American economy are thought-provoking." (Mr. Lamont offered no overall ranking.)
Economic Prosperity: Reality or Illusion.......2006-10-26
Is the United States of America the richest nation on earth or are we living an illusion financed by foreign debt with ominous implications for the future? Dr. Cunningham explores this question and makes a very convincing case that the United States is on an economic path that will result in a major economic correction - a correction that will significantly degrade our way of life. His conclusions are well supported by voluminous data presented in an easy to read and understand graphical format. Everyone with a concern about the ability of the United States to maintain its standard of living in an increasingly competitive world should read this book, consider Dr Cunnibngham's recommendations, and write their congressman.
Read this if you care about the economic future of the USA.......2006-10-24
Dr Cunningham does a very thorough job of examining the issues related to the loss of manufacturing in the USA. His sound reasoning and impeccable data help the reader understand the problem ... plus ... he offers a convincing step by step solution! This book should be read by anyone who cares about the economic future of our country. It's easy to follow, keeps your attention, has incredible insight, and a real vision.

Book Description
The public domain of citizenship, equity and service is crucial for individual fulfilment and social well-being. But it has been under attack for thirty years ndash; first from the market fundamentalists of the New Right, and then from their New Labour imitators. The results are everywhere ndash; resource-starved public services; the marketization of the public sector; the soul-destroying targets and audits that go with it; the denigration of professionalism and the professional ethic; and the erosion of public trust. More damaging still are the hollowing out of citizenship, the manipulative populism that now pervades British government and a slide towards a new version of the lsquo;Old Corruptionrsquo; that our Victorian ancestors thought they had banished. David Marquand traces the growth of the public domain from Gladstone to Attlee, analyses the forces that began to undermine it in its post-war heyday and exposes the campaign that the Thatcher and Blair governments have waged against it. He ends with a call for a counter-attack, based on a re-statement of the civic ideal in a twenty-first century idiom.

Description:
Our model is a multi-sectoral version of Romer's variety expansion model that reveals the presense of industrial hollowing-out. The basic idea of the model is similar to that of Lucas [Lucas, Robert E., Jr. 1993, ''Making a Miracle.'' Econometrica 61, p. 273-302.]. An increase in (external) social experience capital through learning by doing raises labor productivity. It also increases the social capacity to adopt more technology-intensive goods. The model provides the following implications: First, even though the economic growth of China raises the exports of low-level technology goods from neighboring countries to China in the short run, this can lower their future growth potential by lowering the accumulation of social experience capital. Second, without increasing social capacity to adopt more technology-intensive goods, those countries can experience industrial hollowing-out, lower equilibrium wage rates, and a higher unemployment rate. Third, as with conclusions garnered by standard geography models, both a huge market size and very low-level wages in China imply a continuation of discontinuous and lumpy loss of jobs and sectors. In this context, various policies to raise social capacity, besides retraining programs and unemployment safety nets, should be provided by the government to avoid industrial hollowing-out and to allocate labor efficiently.
