Best Map Ever

Jasper Fforde is one of my favorite authors, mostly because he writes fiction about fiction, and his characters jump between our world and "BookWorld," where all the book characters live. (Yes, it gets kind of meta when his characters have characters of themselves because he's writing, well, fiction.)

Anyway, in the sixth installment of the "Thursday Next" series, he publishes a map of Fiction Island, where all the fictional characters live.

If you don't like fiction, you might like this map anyway. If you like fiction, you will chuckle at this map. If you're a fiction-fiend (like I am), you will pour over it and then print up a life-sized version and tape it to your ceiling (probably next to your book-cover posters, am I right?).

Enjoy! (On an unrelated note, does anyone know a printer who does ceiling-sized posters?)
