Less Ambitious Books -- My Top 10 List


Greg from A Life in the Day blog got me started on this when I saw him do one on the Twitter Machine.  The idea is to come up with the title of a book that is less ambitious than the original.  I don't know... I think I might rather read the less ambitious versions.

  1. The Five People You Meet in Cleveland
  2. Interview with an Umpire
  3. Bridget Jones's Diarrhea
  4. The Wit and Wisdom of Sarah Palin (Sorry, that is for the short book list)
  5. A Farewell to Hands
  6. To Slap a Mockingbird 
  7. Scents and Sensibility 
  8. Gone with the Breeze
  9. The World According to Carp 
  10. The Girl with the Butterfly Tattoo

I'm glad to hear people get a kick out of Chihuahua of the Baskervilles, because I sold it to St. Martin's/Thomas Dunne Books last May. It'll come out in hardcover July 5.
