New book covers for sci-fi/fantasy books :)

Mostly SFW (some strong written language), but not for "fanboys".
(I'm a Dune fan so of course I'm outraged at the treatment it got. ;))

Anybody feel like giving it a try with other books ?  :D

I lol'ed @ the Crossroads of Twilight cover. "Characters Show Up". Sums the book up perfectly. Also, the recommendation: "More Subplots!" It's Robert Freaking Jordan.

EDIT: also, "Camelot (Feminist Version)". Genius.

I'm cross-posting this shit to the LOL thread 'cause I was LOLing lots.  :lmao

People usually think that I've lost my mind. I haven't lost it, I know exactly where it is: the gutter.

My body is a temple. That is why I make chocolate sacrifices in it every day.

Yet somehow, the fact that the new titles are so accurate does nothing to destroy my childhood love for so many of these books.  :lmao

ROFL!

Having recently given up on the Inheritance Quartet, I found the re-done Eragon cover ROFL-worthy on its own, too.

Amazing list. :)

I might be insane, but at least I\'m not deluded...

God, I loved Fred Saberhagen's series. "Rejected names for my penis..." That's great, and it disturbs me that I never noticed that.

I'm pretty sure either SA or one of the rpgnet threads did that "asshole leper hero" cover.
