Kat's Mashup Book Titles
I made these up awhile back. Some of them might be funny:
* Charlotte's Web Design, 2nd Ed.--the story of a girl, a pig, and the web designer who manages workflow, makes a great team with the girl and the pig, and meets the deadline in the end.
* A Thousand Splendid Acres--Loosely based on Shakespeare's King Lear, this work gives us a rare glimpse into the suffering and sacrifice of farm women and their utter helpless dependence on their patriarch.
* The Unbearable Lightness of Being and Nothingness--This tome is long, and hard to read, but the author constructs a compelling theory of being, based on love and sex.
* The Catcher on the Right Side of the Brain--Classic coming-of-age story in which a boy named Holden enhances his self his self-expression by running away to draw.
* Lady Chatterley's Love Bug--A young married woman with an impotent husband becomes physically involved with their gardener's car--a self-aware and talented Volkswagen--which is sorely in need of a service.
* The Inheritance of Lost--an award-winning tale of cultural identity and personal connections on an island full of strangers and mystery and secrets.
* The Cider House Rules of Engagement--An orphan named Homer prays for 30 days to be adopted, but God instead makes Homer grow up a parentless ob-gyn. (This story illustrates the reality that no matter how much power people ascribe to them, prayers are often "answered" with "Are you kidding? There's no way that will happen!")
* The Namesake of the Rose--a mystery story of cultural and personal identity of a first-generation monk, and of the girl and heart that he left behind.
* Silas Marnie--Meet a miserly recluse who gets redeemed by a kleptomaniac orphan girl with a mysterious and traumatic childhood.
* The Spy Who Came in From the Cold Mountain--The hero--a disillusioned Cold War soldier named Inmas--is sent to find spies deep in enemy territory. He instead deserts to seek his own wounded soul on a lonely trek home, shadowed by betrayal.
