What other books could be usefully rewritten at this time?
Even, to go beyond the mere joke, which books should be rewritten and stuck up on Amazon to see what happens?

With Alex Salmond in mind, Lord of the Flies, Undone.
Not sure I believe the Salmond crap. Much as despise Salmond himself . A political piggy has a go at rape multiple times?
Perhaps. But it has the stink of ME-ME Too all over it. A casual grope or bum pincher–perhaps . But a serious actual sexual assault? Even the egos of political piggies aren’t usually up for that. Let alone in public Jacuzzis. Ted Bundy wouldn’t have been that daft. And the several years of silence also speaks. This strikes me as the Scots equivalent of the “Nick” nick capers at the Westminster public toilet.
Anyway my title re-write is : Great Expectorations
The Lung Goodbye
Ecksie – well he’s apparently not denying some of this stuff but simply claiming it was concensual. Woman H claims he was starkers, barring his socks and everyone knows that a gentleman removes his socks. Salmond is nae gentleman so that was the clincher as far as I’m concerned.
Your book choice is phlegmatic – Captain Corelli’s Catarrh belongs on the same shelf.
Chris – that’s very, very good. I shall drink a gimlet to toast your health.
A woman or trans-woman victim must always be believed, Salmond’s guilt is evident, after all, he is part of the toxic patriarchy.
