Summary:
From his popular Tumblr page, Dan Wilbur offers his delightfully cruel summary of the books you were forced to read in high school - with all that resentment and angst loaded into a punchy re-title. Incisive and vindictive, each page features a recognizable book cover with the title renamed: To Kill a Mockingbird becomes My Dad Is Cooler than Your Dad; A Walk to Remember is reborn as Teen Sex Is Ok if One of Them Has Cancer. Sections include "Classics" (the books you’ve lied about reading), Actual Classics (Greek and Latin books people don't even pretend to have read), Contemporary fiction (those books people talk about at parties that you’ve "definitely heard of” but never bothered to pick up), Children's (books that say the most with the fewest number of words) and Reference (Those books that were around before Google). From children's literature, The Very Hungry Caterpillar gets the retitle Eat Until You Feel Pretty. The Great Gatsby has its title changed to Drink Responsibly. And from contemporary fiction, Gone Girl is retitled A Tale of Two Shitty People. Dan Wilbur is a stand-up comedian and journalist. He is the author of How Not to Read: Harnessing the Power of a Literature-Free Life.
