SIPs: second chance

[rone]

As seen originally here, i've added a SIP to the unguessed titles.  If you hadn't seen it before, check it out now. 

• yellow bushes, judicial panel, body exchange, frog people (Frank Herbert's The Dosadi Experiment, guessed by pobig)
• dragon with twelve, dragon with eight heads, ten heads, mount szaniszlo* (Steven Brust's The Sun, The Moon, and the Stars, guessed by ambyr)
• robot girls, fifty knots, frustrated parkaboy*
• helicopter screws, emotional engineering, pleasant vices, impudent strumpet (Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, guessed by pobig)

*: the original SIPs were all that came up, so i had to find another one manually.

Impudent Strumpet!
That one I'm filing in my box of quips.
I like it!

SSC: I feel like I have a learning disability reading these memes, because I would never in a million years recognize one one of these, even when I have read the source text. I simply don't remember that kind of detail. You people are smart!
