Everything is connected

When I read The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde I really enjoyed it and got all bouncy when I found out he created a character who was a vampire-slayer, whose last name was Stoker (of course!) and whose nickname was...SPIKE!!!

Said Spike is a SpecOps, SO 17 (Hostile 17 anyone?) and in Lost In a Good Book that I've been reading lately we learnt he wrote a POEM for a girl named Cindy!

Too many coincidences...Don't tell me that Jasper Fforde didn't watch Buffy!
