As everyone has

Chatterbox: Blab About Books

Opposite of Complications
As everyone has...

As everyone has probably seen, there's a game at the moment called Complications, where one person posts the title of a book and the next person makes a very long-drawn-out, complicated version of that title and posts the next title. This is the opposite of this game, as suggested by Lupine! A person posts a very complicated version of a book title, the next person tries to guess what the book was originally called and posts the next complicated version.

First one: A Very Miniscule Place Where People Usually Live Which Happens To Be In The Middle Of An Expanse Of Grasses, Wildflowers, Etc.

(i think maybe we should wait for the latest comment to appear before posting another guess/complication? this is just a bit chaotic lol)

Thanks for making the thread, Amethyst! I think all of the past ones have been guessed, so here's a new one: The Story of a Female Child, in which Said Child Consumes the Essence of the Night Sky's Biggest Attraction Via Her Mouth

it is really hard figuring out which words to capitalize xD

Goodnight Moon? Dr. Seuss' Sleep Book??

alright, here we go. semicolons are my friend in this game--

A Specific Singular Being of Questionable Morality Who Engages in the Illicit Activity of Taking Objects and/or Ideas that Do Not Belong to Said Being; The Objects and Ideas that are Relieved of Their Rightful Owners in This Manner Are Those Generally Square-ish-Shaped Items Composed of Shredded Wood and Glue and Ink, Which Contain Within Themselves Information, Whether Truthful or Fictional, and Have Been Voraciously Devoured by Many a Chatterboxer, Including the Author of this Preposterous Alternate Title for the Book Which Must Not Be Named

Haha, good one, Artemis. I had to read this a few times to fully understand it, but my answer is...*dramatic pause* THE BOOK THIEF! (I think?) :D

I guess I'll do one: The Act of Repeating Arithmetically a Series of A Certain, Lucky Prime Number

um, I'm terrible at this, but I'll give it a go:

In Which a Mineral Made of Sodium Chloride Goes or Returns to a Large Body of Water, of Which There Are Said to Be Seven Of In The Entire World.

yikes... well, hopefully someone guesses it...

There aren't really any titles to guess right now, so I'll post another one:

A Small Building Used to Collect Payment From Drivers That Is Either a Figment of the Imagination or a Fantastical Ghost.

umm that was hard... because I don't really know how to describe it.. oh well.
