After six volumes of Proust's Remembrance of Times Past, nothing of note has happened. A short and bloody cyborg war engulfs Paris. Fin.

Samuel Richardson's Pamela: The first time Pamela bewails her virtue, Mr B rapes her, kills her, and buries her at the bottom of the garden. This is a short book, but much more satisfying than the original.

At the end of 1984, Winston Smith's brother-in-law Sean Penn shows up, and it's revealed that it was all a game to help him appreciate life. He does a couple of great heaving hearty chuckles and feels like a new man.

The canterbury tales

Pilgrams leave pub and are promptly attacked by plague ridden peasents. Alot more fun and probably more historically accurate.

one month passes...

The Trial - Kafka:
And his father gave him a big hug.

Alien:
Then Ripley's cat launched itself at the only flaw in the alien's armoury, its left eye, and injected some cat saliva (deadly to aliens). Ripley (still in her t-shirt and knickers) hauled the dead alien out into space, cradled her cat, and said "We're going home. To planet Earth." The cat purred in her arms.
But......What did the cat's saliva now contain?

(Alien II could have been so much different.)

Every Ian McEwan Book.

The author enters the novel in the last page and gets a good kicking from everyone for fucking the whole thing up in the last 20 pages and wasting everyone's time.
