Double dang. 10 freaking minutes late and two people beat me to it.

I really, really thought that the thread title said “FAKE BOOBS.” I’m not sure if it’s a case of being too tired to browse or simply wishful thinking.
[/QUOTE]

Me too. Didn’t realize my mistake until after I read the OP . . . twice.

Frankly, I think “FAKE BOOBS” would be a much more interesting thread. I had it in mind that this thread would be like a contest to see who could best pick out which boobs were fake and which were natural. Right after I (mis)read the thread title, I thought to myself: “Ooh, I’m gonna win.”

The Book Of Shadows from Charmed.
[/QUOTE]

Yes and no on that one. A book of shadows is simply a book of rituals and spells kept by a witch or coven.

Most of the titles mentioned here were discussed, along with others, like the myriad of nonexistent works cited by Jorge Luis Borges in his short fiction. The most well known of those is probably the Book of Sand, which has an infinite number of pages, so that you can flip through it and never see the same page twice. Then there’s the Encyclopedia of Tlon, which . . . hell, I can’t even begin to explain that one!

On the subject of Borges, surely the most widely read imaginary book is Pierre Menard’s Don Quixote.

Take a Bloke Like Me
No Particle Forgot
The Skull of Glass
Hear Me Punnin’ to Ya

All by Hugh Rowe, and all unfinished.

The unexpurgated Joye of Snacks by “A Lancre Witch.”

The Keener’s Manual

Mad Trist, by Sir Launcelot Canning

[QUOTE=Scribble]
Quiddich Through the Ages, from the Harry Potter series. Oh, and there are also all of Harry’s textbooks, Mrs. Weasley’s recipe book, etc.
[/QUOTE]

Most importantly: Hogwarts: A History. Said with a really know-it-all tone, of course.

A comic book called(I think)The Adventures of Leech Man and Slug Boy from the FoxTrot comic strip.

Quite a few by Alan Moore:

Memoirs of a Military Intelligencer (by Campion Bond)
Behind the Mask
Weeping Gorilla
The Black Freighter

[QUOTE=Birdmonster
Venus on the Half-Shell[/QUOTE]

Well technically…it does exist. I have a copy. There it is right over there on my bookshelf. Of course it wasn’t wrtiten by Kilgore Trout. But the Middlemarch wasn’t tecnicallly written by George Eliot.

Speaking of which The Key to all Mythology is a fake book.

I could think of others but I do know I have severals shelves of my own books in Dream’s library.

Of course, there’s always the Ultimate Fake Book. But it’s not a fake book. I mean, it is, but it isn’t. I mean . . . oh, heck.

The main character in What Entropy Means to Me is writing a book about his brother’s quest adventure, though I don’t recall the title.

My favorite is Edmund: A Butler’s Tale by Gertrude Perkins. “A searing indictment of domestic servitude in the eighteenth century, with some hot gypsies thrown in.”

You mean that big papery thing tied up with string?

Yes, exactly like the thing we burnt.

[QUOTE=Sarahfeena]
Dean Koontz has his Book of Counted Sorrows, which he has quotations from in many of his novels.
[/QUOTE]

I always wondered about that one.

I Want To Be Your Canary, written by the noted playwright Lord Avon. It is performed at the beginning and end of the game, and plays a part in moving the story along.

Dawns and Departures of a Soldier’s Life, Twixt Cossack and Cannon, and The Case Against Army Reform by Sir Harry Flashman.

The Nemedian Chronicles–from Robert E. Howard’s Conan series.
