How do you get hooked to a book? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I was forcefully attacked by a parody idea this morning. I already have a page and a half of LotR name changes for it. So far, the one person I've given some of the details to seems to think it's lame (it doesn't take much to amuse me, though).

I was reading "Bored of the Rings" (which I am finding dull, overdone, dirty and lame) and was thinking that there's got to be better than that. Then this morning, since I didn't sleep at all last night, I needed some coffee and, thus, "The Lord of the Beans" has begun.

Here's some of the names:
Bordtotears (Boromir)
Frydo Baggedin (Frodo)
Beanwraiths/Nazdrool (guess! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img])
Scholarman the Witty/of Many Classes (Saruman)
Boredor (Mordor)
Middle-class (Middle-earth)
etc., etc.

So, what do you think? Should I keep going with this lil' idea?
