Barnes & Noble Booksellers - Buckhead: Jasper Fforde (januar 15 kl. 19:30) Jasper Fforde signerer Shades of Grey. An astonishing, hotly anticipated new novel from the great literary fantasist and creator of Thursday Next, Jasper Fforde. As long as anyone can remember, society has been ruled by a Colortocracy. From the underground feedpipes that keep the municipal park green to the healing hues viewed to cure illness ... (mere)to a social hierarchy based upon one's limited color perception, society is dominated by color. In this world, you are what you can see. Young Eddie Russett has no ambition to be anything other than a loyal drone of the Collective. With his better-than-average red perception, he could well marry Constance Oxblood and inherit the string works; he may even have enough red perception to make prefect. For Eddie, life looks colorful. Life looks good. But everything changes when he moves with his father, a respected swatchman, to East Carmine. There, he falls in love with a Grey named Jane who opens his eyes to the painful truth behind his seemingly perfect, rigidly controlled society. Curiosity--a dangerous trait to display in a society that demands total conformity--gets the better of Eddie, who beings to wonder: Why are there not enough spoons to go around? Why is everything--and everyone--barcoded? What happened to all the people who never returned from High Saffron? And why, when you begin to question the world around you, do black-and-white certainties reduce themselves to shades of grey? Part satire, part romance, part revolutionary thriller, this is the new world from the creative and comic genius of Jasper Fforde.

Kombiner med…Hvad?Sp.: Hvad betyder dette/hvorfor er det nødvendigt? Sv.: Da LibraryThing trækker på mange forskellige biblioteker, kan en enkelt forfatter optræde med forskellige navne. "Også kendt som" lader LibraryThing-brugere kombinere en forfatters forskellige navnevariationer på en nem måde, så samlingerne matcher og alting kan forløbe uden problemer. Sp.: Kan jeg kombinere med en forfatter der ikke er foreslået ovenfor? Sv.: Ja, det kan du godt. Q: I know an author is separate, but someone keeps combining them! Can I take a name off the combination list? Sv.: Ja, det kan du godt. Kig op! Alt i "Kombiner med..." afsnittet har nu et "kombiner aldrig" link. Brug denne funktion med omtanke. "Soren Kirkegård" ser muligvis åndsvagt ud, men stavefejl skal alligevel kombineres. "Søren Kierkegaard" og "H.C. Andersen" skal ikke. Sp.: Hvilke forfattere er allerede blevet dømt til "kombiner aldrig" med denne forfatter? Sv.: Ingen forfattere. Sp.: I am the someone and I'm right! Sv.: Tag det op i Combiners gruppen.
