Silly book titles...

[watervole]

for some totally unknown reason (possibly related to having a temperature and feeling shivvery) I was randomly browsing LJ and misread a screen and saw this wonderful book titled:

Conan the Librarian

And I realised that I really, really, wanted to read it.

Anyone care to attempt a brief plot synopsis?

Or other entertaining non-existent books that are crying out to be written?

We used to have several Conan the Librarians in my old system. Tough as old boots ,they could quell an incipient riot at a bad branch with just a look and you didn't want to return a damaged book to any one of them the had a tongue that could cut like a knife. Unlike Conan the Barbarian, they never wore leather and mini skirts but flat shoes long skirts and cardigans and they were all of mature years, about the age I am now.

My friend Peter (john_arundel) has always remarked that he likes the Games Workshop Warhammer 40,000 milieu because two of the most fearsome brothers in an Imperial Space Marine chapter are the chaplain and the librarian. :-)

Aaargh! (That definitely made me laugh!)

Good heavens! There appears to be an entire saga. A bit dated, but still fairly amusing - http://www.aallnet.org/chapter/mall/conan/conret01.html

You should have heard what Sue Mason called Harry when he cracked that one at her a few years back.

Lord of the Rungs - the adventures of a ladder salesman
The Lion, the Witch and the Warthog
Harry Potter and the Order of the Garter
Jonathan Livingston Beagle
War of the Worms

All good giggles, though I think 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Garter'is my favourite. Obviously it happened later in the series when the Queen knighted him.

It would seem logical that Her Majesty knows about the wizarding world.

Some excellent ones there. Four outright giggles.

Especially the Japanese silkwear (I looked at the link and was surprised at how low the prices seemed to be for what they were - but I guess it's hard to judge condition over the web)
