The Man Who Melted Jack Dann (game)

[bytrsuite]

So I was bumming around the internet and stumbled upon this little game of sorts. It's a word game inspired by Jack Dann's book The Man Who Melted. The purpose of the game is to place the writer's name in front or behind the title of one of the writer's books to see if you get an amusing or witty sentence/phrase.

Here are a few examples:

Earth Abides George R. Stewart
The Stranger Albert Camus
Flush Virginia Woolf
Oedipus Rex Sophocles

I think we should start with one entry per post so everyone can have a chance to play.

So, I think that's it. There's tons of books in the world, I'm sure we can come up with a few more.
