Two days ago, Twitter bibliophile Liberty launched the hashtag “80s books” with the tweet: “Luke and Laura and the Fire of Life by Salman Rushdie.”
Twitter users responded with their own creative entries. Here are five funny examples:
- Michael Schaub: “Married…With Midnight’s Children”
- John Kovalic: “Material Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”
- Chris Busch: “My Brother’s Trapper Keeper”
- Dion Grimes: “Total Eclipse of the Heart of Darkness”
- Carol Ayres: “Mad World According to Garp”
Other tweets paid homage to everything from popular 80s songs to trendy items of the time such as the Trapper Keeper.
Last summer, former literary agent Nathan Bransford created the “bad jobs in novels” hashtag. Responses included “laundress in an erotica” and “James Bond’s urologist.”
