Nice. I'll have to think because no titles are coming to mind.
Loitering With Intent
Thanks to Stefanie for taking the meme to her much more popular blog! :)
Ok, here are some:
1. One Hundred Years of Solitude - GGM. (Probably, anything by Marquez might fit the bill.)
2. Beastly Tales from Here and There - Vikram Seth
3. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe - Douglas Adams
4. So Long, and Thanks for all the fish. - Douglas Adams
This one won't be published till fall, but I love the title: St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves.
She's got a hilarious interview here; hope the stories can live up to both the title and the hype!
'The Aggressive Ways of the Casual Stranger', from Stefanie via email.
