Jasper Fforde Fans?

who is this guy? and why the double Ff? There's so much to find out in this world.

I am a fan of Jasper for an interesting reason. When I was only 10 years old everyone used to make fun of me because of the size of my ears... Jasper found out about the troubles I was having and beat the snot out of all the kids who made me suffer. Ever since that day Jasper has been my hero so that's that...
