Book excerpt: If all you really have left is time - how will you spend it? 'The Pointless Revolution ' is the ultimate lifestyle heresy. It turns economics, self-help and philosophy upside down. It promises neither enlightenment, salvation or utopia; nor does it require purity or genius. Yet, by striking a new bargain with time and re-evaluating our most primal fears, it paves the way for everyday freedom and genuine self-authorship. Audacious and counter-intuitive, this personal and cultural revolution overthrows commonplace fantasies, fairy tales and addictions. By switching off the legislated lifestyle megaphone and challenging the authority of gods, brand ambassadors and social norms, 'The Pointless Revolution ' is pure existential weight loss, an intellectual and spiritual de-clutter that will get you spring cleaning your entire life. A playful, irreverent and timely rebellion against the 24/7 'musts' of consumerism, status seeking and spiritual correctness.

Book excerpt: The third novel in the New York Times bestselling Thursday Next series is “great fun—especially for those with a literary turn of mind and a taste for offbeat comedy” (The Washington Post Book World). “Delightful . . . the well of Fforde’s imagination is bottomless.”—People “Fforde creates a literary reality that is somewhere amid a triangulation of Douglas Adams, Monty Python, and Miss Marple.”—The Denver Post With the 923rd Annual Bookworld Awards just around the corner and an unknown villain wreaking havoc in Jurisfiction, what could possibly be next for Detective Thursday Next? Protecting the world’s greatest literature—not to mention keeping up with Miss Havisham—is tiring work for an expectant mother. And Thursday can definitely use a respite. So what better hideaway than inside the unread and unreadable Caversham Heights, a cliché-ridden pulp mystery in the hidden depths of the Well of Lost Plots, where all unpublished books reside?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 itself is a veritable linguistic free-for-all, where grammasites run rampant, plot devices are hawked on the black market, and lousy books—like Caversham Heights—are scrapped for salvage. To top it off, a murderer is stalking Jurisfiction personnel and nobody is safe—least of all Thursday. Don’t miss any of Jasper Fforde’s delightfully entertaining Thursday Next novels: THE EYRE AFFAIR • LOST IN A GOOD BOOK • THE WELL OF LOST PLOTS • SOMETHING ROTTEN • FIRST AMONG SEQUELS • ONE OF OUR THURSDAYS IS MISSING • THE WOMAN WHO DIED A LOT
