The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde. Third book of the Thursday Next series. I lost patience at around 20% and did not finish. Knowing how clever Fforde can be, I'm sure I was being given details that would become relevant later, in fact I'm fairly sure I picked out a few of them, but I don't care enough to be bothered finding out. For the most part it seemed to be an endless gag-reel about literature intended to demonstrate how clever and funny the author could be. It all got too much for me. I liked the novelty (pun intended) of the first book of the series, and I thought the second was messy but okay. Now this. Given the trajectory I think I will give up on this series ... but not on the author whose inventiveness is quite fascinating.
