The Wrath of Dawn
What it should say on the tin
Just discovered Dan Wilbur's blog Better Book Titles (via the Guardian newspaper). Brilliant!I'd like to nominate "Moby Dick" for the title, "There's 10 Hours of My Life I'll Never Get Back."
Or.
"Why does Herman Melville hate us so?"
Or.
"Call me Ishmael... one more time and I'll punch you."
He takes readers' suggestions on Fridays. Go give some books their proper names. Ya know ya wanna. He's here.

I watched Moby Dick:2010 yesterday on SyFy. It had that chick Gabrielle off Xena in it and nucular submarines and at least it's only 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back.
Erm... oh. Erm... Possibly Dan Brown's "Painfully Obvious Made-Up History-like Guff For Idiots And The Gullible." Several volumes.
=D
What TRT said!!!

You read Moby Dick in just 10 hours? It took me the whole rainy season.
Call me Ishmael... one more time and I'll punch you.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA...excellent
Had to stop in just tell you how funny I think your comments are. :-) You crack me up!
Pearl
p.s. Get back here and write me something funny, dammit!
In the same vein:
Ernest Hemingway - A Farewell To Several Days of My Life
That's all I've got at the moment, I'm afriad.
How about Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms", which should of course be entitled "A Farewell to Any Semblance of An Interesting Book".
Pearl thinks I'm funny! *blush* Coming from her, that's high praise. You need to read her blog, Pearl, Why You Little.... Now, SHE'S funny!
