Judge a book by its cover

(Blogger appears to be down and ate yesterday's important Wormbook post, so we'll see if this works.) Via Regular Commenter Elizabeth, the creator of Better Book Titles, a Tumblr of Photoshopped covers revealing the "real" content behind famous books, was just profiled on NPR. Some of my favorites: ALICE IN WONDERLAND; GREAT EXPECTATIONS; JANE EYRE (LOL, forever) and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD.

Ironically the first book on the site as I write this (Thursday's post) is a novel I was just about to pick up from the library today. I hope they are exaggerating.

THE HANDMAID'S TALE.

Harsh, but probably fair.

Also, yay, email posting works like magic, even though both yesterday's posts were eaten.

VERY nice. Depressing, but well played.
