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 [livejournal.com profile] pobig)
  • dragon with twelve, dragon with eight heads, ten heads, mount szaniszlo* (Steven Brust's The Sun, The Moon, and the Stars, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] ambyr)
  • robot girls, fifty knots, frustrated parkaboy*
  • helicopter screws, emotional engineering, pleasant vices, impudent strumpet (Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, guessed by [livejournal.com profile] pobig)

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

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!

Either that or we just have spongelike brains for that sort of detail. I'm leaning towards "spongelike".

Sure nuff. It's commonplace for folks to be able to do mental stuff better than I. But this is sufficiently advanced to seem magical.

I too suck at remembering the language, although I remember the content. The only one I got was one whose SIPs were "blue house" and "land swindle", and you might notice that those are particularly contentful.

Well, "blue house" may not seem so, but the book is constantly joking with having people astonished at the mere phrase "blue house" because obviously a house (in this fantasy world) is never blue.

That one's definitely my favorite in that series, even if i have a bit of a problem with the fact that he knifes the dude in the back of the head, even though he's at least a foot shorter than him.
