Locking down again for a week. I didn't have big plans. I just wanted to go to the gym and the pool. *sigh*

Google "pulp book cover" + your name and post the results.

This is hilarious. I love it.



Apparently Tess is Andy Warhol's Marilyn smoking a pipe. Who knew?

Locking down again for a week.

Really? Bugger.

I've been too busy to keep an eye on the news... but so much for the big birthday plans of going to the cinema. Oh, well, it's not the end of the world but this is why I didn't book cinema tickets until three days before.

(Also, I love the "I married a dead man" one! Hee!)

Ha! I made an icon out of "I Married a Dead Man"!

More pipe-smoking and hair bleaching, less marrying Angel Clare would have been healthy choices for Tess!

*distant, gloved, masked solidarity fistbump* :/

I used DuckDuckGo and got no image results at all. I gingerly repeated the experiment with Actual Google, and got the cover of Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

I got 'The Devil Owns My Guns.' Bwa!

(And at least your government is more on the ball than ours.)

The pulp covers for classics are amazing! I have a couple for Jane Eyre.

Excuse me, I think I'm dead of the Tess of the D'Urbervilles cover!

A fun meme! I got The Third Sex and a couple other sex related books. It's hilarious but I have no idea why those came up.

Not to mention, they spelled D'Urbervilles wrong! Marilyn does not seem to care, however.

Man, I'm sorry they're shutting stuff down again. I feel like that would be the prudent thing to do here, of course, but we're not very good with that sort of thing. I hope that it helps and won't be extended too long.

I get "The Talk of the Town", the same Tess and one called "Village Hipster". I'm very tempted to follow Misbegotten's lead and iconify the last.

Yours are great! I love the green dead guy.

I wish we would lockdown here. We are returning to school amid severely rising delta variant cases and the governor has decreed that we can't even require masks.
