one more for the weirdly stupid .... or stupidly weird:
In a bookshop- Lolita in the "Young Fiction" section
Which reminds me of one for the recommended reading list:
Granitas - (at least I think it was called that) - parody by Umberto Eco of Lolita - the narrator is obsessed with an elderly woman with "lasvicious white locks"
which reminds me of the latest parody I came across - a parody of The Chronicles of Narnia called...The Chronicles of Blarnia (or something like that, I really need more sleep)..... four kids enter a magical land through an enchanted wardrobe and do what you'd expect them to - break stuff and teach all the magical animals foul language. And the book has an assortment of mangled names - The Wide Witch and Astma the cat (only a foot high).
which brings me to a cliqued observation about spoofs - for a spoof to "work", you need both a writer and an audience who knows (loves) the work being spoofed - so here's to being spoofed someday, because parody is the second sincerest form of flattery
