SpecOp agent Thursday Next saves the world from pink goo. Interesting story, and a book with a character named Brik Schitt-Hawse can't be Too bad! Good think I read "Great Expectations" in Junior High.
Jack Spratt investigates the death of Humpty Dumpty. Very humourous. Read the Thorndike Press Large Print edition.
Words I Had To Look Up:
brazen (pg. 293) -- definition #3. Made of brass. runcible (pg. 519) -- a fork-like spoon with a cutting edge. molto prestissimo (pg. 520) -- very as fast as possible.
Quote:
The last two paragraphs of chapter 36, page 465 in the Thorndike Press Large Print edition. Plus the preceding page of build-up.
