INSTRUCTIONS: Rearrage books on either your or someone else's bookshelf to tell a story, write haiku, or make a statement. The inspiration for this task is the most whimsical of artists, Nina Katchadourian. More examples there.

This task is quite a bit harder than it looks. The problem is, most book titles are nouns. It was difficult to find verbs and prepositions to create grammatically correct statements, but I think I made a few. I started out simple and got more complicated as I emptied my bookshelf.

"Romeo and Juliet make lemonade all alone in the universe" is really good.
You got a lot of great books, I hope you have time to read some more even though you've joined this addictive cult-like game :)

Wowwowwow. Some fantastic books in there, but also, so cleverly done. "The thornbirds inherit the wind." Love it.

I like the twisting of nouns and adjectives into verbs. Neat!
