Fiction Confliction


Categories:

[Miss/Ms./Mrs.] Tushnet also links to an unneeded distraction on Crooked Timber: "Fiction Mash-Ups". (That's the best title they could up with?) My favorite:

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.
Both those books have sentimental value to me, and I recently came upon my old copy of Goodnight Moon while rooting through some boxes at my mom's house.

The only one I can come up with off the top of my head:

The Lord of the Ring of the Flies
Frodo et al become marooned on an island, slowly go mad, and eat Sam.

AUGH! I laughed so hard I nearly lost the bite of my chocolate Easter bunny. Love fiction. Love chocolate. You're funny. :-)
