The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Andrews Edwards

Lonely Whangdoodle
Wearing slippers on your hooves
You hide from the world.

Now Wilbur is safe

Kafka on the Shore- Haruki Murakami

Kafka runs away
Nakata can talk to cats
Fish fall from the sky

The story goes bland.

The Da Vinci Code

It's a tie for best final line- "Dear God kill me please" and "Jesus had a kid."

The Baby Merchant by Kit Reed

You need a baby
Body won't cooperate
Tom Starbird's your man.

Very nice!

Stardust by Neil Gaiman

Checked out for my girl
Whoops! Spilled coffee on the book
Pay at library

OR

It's a love story
Or, is it a fairytale?
Good movie, I heard.

Frodo's Lament

I'm a small hobbit.
Why am I the ring bearer?
Just bad luck, I guess.

Merwyn Haskett | 46 comments Frankenstein by Mary Shelley

I built a Daemon
We were mean to him; He killed
Now we are all dead

or

So many pages
With very little action
And girlish talking

Lots and lots and lots of snow

I just found this gem of a thread again... how's everyone been? It's been quiet around these parts!

Comes alive with time travel
Risky business, this
