Well, it managed to cheer me up.

The scary thing about those is they make me want to read Stephen Donaldson more than I did before. (i.e. slightly)

Oh that is hilarious - I only had to see David Eddings' name and I *knew* what the title would be :D

Awesome. I like the effort that's gone into making new covers for the titles as well. I'm sure we could think of more of these though.

Those are wonderful. The Martin one made me laugh out loud, and the Jordan one made me chortle -- I think it was "sequel to NYT bestseller More Subplots" combined with that cover pic that really does say "Characters Show Up!"

Thanks for linking to them.

Someone didn't like it - the link now gets "this account has been suspended. Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible."

I think the site got 'slashdotted' - so many people looked at it that the host was overloaded and took it down.
