Oooo inspiration has struck....

How about this as an idea for a game.... You know how sometimes when you are typing in a book title the computer comes up with a wacky idea....

Can we turn this into a game?

See what craziness your misspellings lead to and share them. We could invite gamesters to guess the actual book or just put the actual title alongside.

You decide.

Here is the one that set me off ....

The Mask of Dimwit Riots ...... By Eric Ambler

Of course this should read

The Mask of Dimitrios

I can't think of any at the moment but I did have a giggle at the one you posted

A couple from the book Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops by Jen Campbell.

"Death in Denial by Agatha Christie"

There are dozens of bloopers in this book.

I was quite amused to find that

Far from the Madding Crows by Thomas Hardy

is available for sale on Amazon .....http://www.amazon.co.uk/Far-Madding-C...

Dobby and Son

Or

Dopey and Son....


I think this might be by Charlie Dick.

Searching for Mrs. Dalloway I miss a letter and Amazon suggests "Mrs Fallow ah ".

Someone has provided some great illustrations of misheard titles.
