Authors, Writers, Publishers, and Book Readers

If you could turn a novel into a poster...

It could look something like this in its entirety.

See more versions here. The gentlemen behind NovelPoster explain more at the funding platform for creatives, Kickstarter:

We want to celebrate the evolution of writing with a collection of ten unique poster designs highlighting five classic novels of literary acclaim and five of the most well-known twitter users. The novel poster prints are entirely composed of only the book's complete text, from beginning to end, and are fully legible. The celebrity ones are composed of only the twitter feeds, and are also fully legible.

I love this idea. Do you like it? And if you were to design one yourself what book would you choose and type of silhouette image would you use?

I'd sure need my glasses to read the print on one LOL. I like this idea, very novel it is.

(Waits for groans at the pun to subside...)

If I could make one for a book, I'd choose Misery by Stephen King as it's one of my favorites and the silhouette representing it would have been an axe. (If you've seen the movie and not read the book, you'll want to argue this point. Trust me on this. Annie Wilkes doesn't just stop at smashing up his ankle in the book.)

I wouldn't want to disappoint you, scribbler so....GROAN!! What a bad pun that was, shameful! ;)

I love the axe idea for Misery. It's one of my favorite King books too. The movie was a rarity indeed in that it didn't suck. I hate that so many of his books haven't been done justice when the movies were made. But I digress. :) Great choice!

Anyone else?
