I went to the bookstore to buy a personal panacea (aka Burt's Bees lip balm), and browsed the clearance rack. I found Haiku U.: From Aristotle to Zola, 100 Great Books in 17 Syllables by David M. Bader. It was $3, and I couldn't pass it up.
Some selections:
The Metamorphosis- Franz Kafka
"What have I become?"
Uncertain, Gregor Samsa
puts out some feelers.
Oedipus Rex- Sophocles
Chorus: Poor bastard.
Oedipus: This is awful!
Blind Seer: Told you so.
One Hundred Years of Solitude- Gabriel Garcia Mรกrquez
Plagues, incest, madness,
human pig- children. Dios!
Where does the time go?
The Call of the Wild- Jack London
Alaskan tundra-
a dog finds his inner wolf.
White snows turn yellow.
The Canterbury Tales- Geoffrey Chaucer
Pilgrimmes on spryng braecke-
roadde trippe! Whoe farrtted? Yiuw didde.
Noe, naught meae. Yaes, yiuw.
