Ham On Catcher In The Rye
The folks at CT have hit the farking mother lode! Via several other people, they have hit upon the pastime of cramming together two book titles into one odious-- I mean, glorious-- über-concept. Witness:
The Joy Luck Fight Club: Chinese American daughters and mothers bond over fist fights, family history, dim sum and bouts of anarchy.
Heart of Darkness at Noon: English explorer misreads map, winds up in gulag.
The Way The Things They Carried Work: Childrens pictorial guide to the functioning of Vietnam era military hardware.
Tropic of Cancer Ward: More sex than youd expect.
The Sun, the Moon, and the Stars My Destination: Five struggling artists share a studio and discuss teleportation, rape, tattooing and synaesthesia.
Remains of the Longest Day An old-style English butler is drafted to cater the invasion of Normandy.
Goodnight Moon Is a Harsh Mistress: Goodnight penal colony on the moon. Goodnight earth controlling the penal colony on the moon. Goodnight supercomputer named Mike.
Mason & Moby Dixon: Explorers cross the plains in search of giant mechanical white duck.
Moby Dick Tracy: Call me Ishmael on your wrist radio!
The Sum of All Fears and Loathings in Las Vegas: A nuclear bomb is planted on American soil in the midst of an escalation in tension with the Soviet Union in an attempt to rekindle cold war animosity and prevent reconciliation between Israelis and Palestinians. Then the ether kicks in
I have proven to be singularly inept at such tomfoolery, and as such my paltry contributions are so far not worth sharing. Don't let that stop you from trying.
[wik] I'm just not very good at this...
The Wonder Boys of Summer: The sentimental tale of a past-his-prime Brooklyn novelist and the talented rookie who reminds him of his faded glory. A dog is shot, a car is stolen.
The Man from U.N.C.L.E Vanya: Retired secret agents sit around the samovar griping about lost love, old age, and declining property values.
Ham On Catcher In The Rye: Charles Bukowskis autobiographical memoir about youth, prep school, existential anomie, and banging prostitutes.

Hmmm. I suck at this too.
Hmmm. I suck at this too. How about:
2001: A Hunt for Red October: An ancient alien intelligence cleverly leaves a monolith on Earth, which is later commandered by defecting Soviet sailors and given to the CIA.
The Lovely Bones of Electric Sheep: The spirit of a murdered little girl watches from Heaven as those she loved grapple with the fact that she was actually a replicant.
