Alternate Titles for Literary Masterworks

Boy, authors sure do like to come up with fancy titles. The Way of All Flesh? A Dance to the Music of Time? A Remembrance of Things Past?  I guess we can blame Shakespeare, Milton & the Bible for these, but still …

I translated some of these into something a little more vernacular. See if you can guess the original:

1. A Century Alone
2. Abbatoir #5
3. Almost Heaven
4. Angry Raisins
5. The Big Red A
6. The Bloody Headband
7. Blown Away
8. Buncha Idiots
9. Bye Bye Guns
10. Car-Bound

11. Conflict and the Lack Thereof
12. Dads and Grads
13. Entropy
14. Festival of Narcissism
15. Fly Lord
16. Fun House
17. Goodbye Heaven
18. Huge Plans
19. I Got Ya!
20. It's for You!

21. Kickin' the Bucket
22. The Lone Hunting Heart
23. Memories of Yesteryear
24. Nature Calls
25. Endless Jokes
26. Noise and Anger
27. Petite Chicks
28. Royal Guys
29. Sunrise Too
30. You Do the Crime, You Do the Time

And, yes, as a former English teacher, I’ve read all but a handful of these.  Just for fun, I’ve included the cover for the book I originally read where I could.  Yup, I have a photographic memory too.
