OH MAN OKAY I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE GAME it’s called “the man who melted jack dunn” and it’s where you conflate the author and the title of a book to create a new phrase that means something completely different and/or entirely hilarious. HERE ARE SOME OF MY FAVORITE EXAMPLES:
- The Martian Chronicles Ray Bradbury
- The Sheep Look Up John Brunner
- Clans of the Alphane Moon Philip K. Dick
- We Can Build You Philip K. Dick
- Discipline and Punish Michel Foucault
- A Few Maxims for the Instruction of the Over-Educated Oscar Wilde
- You Just Don’t Understand Deborah Tannen, Ph.D
- Unlikely Stories, Mostly Alasdair Gray
- Travels with My Aunt Graham Greene
- Two Sisters Gore Vidal
- Complete Guide to Home Canning, Preserving, and Freezing the U.S. Department of Agriculture
THE BEST GAME!!!!

telanu said: “The Daughter of Time” is one of my favorite books ever, and I love it for pretty much being Richard III fanfic itself.
Oh, I loved that one tooo. I had very little knowledge of anything Richard III-related when I first read it and pretty much took it as the truth. And then years later I read that one Elizabeth Peters book and was all, hmm, this sounds familiar—ohhh. I’ve always been (irrationally) proud of the fact that with her, what, eight books, Tey still gets a mention along with the big Golden Age Queens.

The world is a wonderful place. I’ve just discovered fanfic for Josephine Tey’s Miss Pym Disposes that attempts to soften the book’s actual ending, which places in my top five literary heartbreak moments.
