Herewith, My Two Innings presents brief descriptions of well-known books. Based on the recent Twitter meme, #booksin10wordsorless; elevated in status from mere tweets to a full blog entry.
The grammar cops are correct to insist that we amend the title to "10 words or fewer" from "10 words or less". (I'm holding fast to my revolutionary placement of quotation marks, however).
To business:
1. Ethan Frome: The sled, Ethan, the sled. The sudden deceleration. That's life.
2. Gorky Park: Soviet Union has police detective, too. Like yours but better.
3. Jurassic Park: Prehistoric tse-tse's, manufactured beasties, bovine feasties -- hold onto your keisties!
4. Moneyball: Billy Bean boasts best budget ballplayers.
5. Winnie the Pooh: English child's vivid imagination manifests as blissfully stupid animal friends.
The author reserves the right to add to this list, and will do so whenever the Idiot Spirit moves him.
