Thursday Next Extreme: 2010 Winner

...and the winner is Duy Tran, who encapsulated what we felt was the spirit of adventure that marks out Nextremers from mere mortals.

We thought wrapping the book in a plastic bag was a good touch, too!

Duy tells us:

"..I'm absolutely ecstatic to have won this award. Looking at this photo brings back memories of the great times I had with my friends on that little island. I'd like to thank my photographer 'C' for capturing this moment, the men who ran the helmet dive tour for making sure we had a wonderful experience and lastly you Mr. Ffrode for all the wonderful reads you've given me over the years....

Thank you, Duy!

(Massive applause, Duy collects award, returns to seat)

Dear Mr. Fforde,

While on a leisurely stroll along the beaches of Boracay, Philippines with your book in hand. I suddenly found myself deeply submerged both in book and sea.

Regards,
Duy Tran
