Better Book Titles

The description from the site: "This blog is for people who do not have thousands of hours to read book reviews or blurbs or first sentences. I will cut through all the cryptic crap, and give you the meat of the story in one condensed image. Now you can read the greatest literary works of all time in mere seconds!" So funny, especially if you know the books. Warning: Cuss words and such on the site.
