Alterna-Title-Sequel-Tive
Being a former aspiring screenwriter, why don't I adapt the same reverence and accuracy for the source material that Hollywood does, while even out "Hollywooding" Hollywood and going to the pointless sequel right off the bat.
I'll give you the original book title, and then I'll follow it up with the shameless pseudo-Hollywood rip-off, okay? As an example...The Original: "Oh, The Places You'll Go!" My Sequel: "Been There, Wish I Hadn't Done That." Got it?The Original: "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" The Sequel: "The Smell of Pee Grows On My Brooklyn Stoop"
The Original: "Hop On Pop
The Sequel: "Hopped-Up Pop"
The Original: "The Witches of Eastwick"
The Sequel: "Your Yeast Infection Keeps You In Check"
The Original: "The World According To Garp"
The Sequel: "The Hurled Accordion Is Sharp"
The Original: "The Satanic Verses"
The Sequel: "The Satanic Knock-Off Purses"
The Original: "The Tropic of Cancer"
The Sequel: "The Topic of Pantser"
The Original: "The Sound And The Fury"
The Sequel: "The Paparazzi Hound Suri"

Quin,
I'm envious of people that can say more in one sentence, than I could ever say in two novels, Miss Browne!
Katie,
I'm partial to "Hopped-up Pop," but that's me all over, after eating salty food and downing two cups of coffee.
