Classic literature is great. But have you ever wondered what would happen if two of history’s greatest stories were combined into one like some incredible atomic fusion?
Well, I have! Here are some of the ones I’m dying to read:
Alice’s Adventures in 1984 (Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland + 1984)
To Kill a Frankenstein (To Kill a Mockingbird + Frankenstein)
The Great Jane (The Great Gatsby + Jane Eyre)
The Secret Women (The Secret Garden + Little Women)
Sense and a Mockingbird (Sense and Sensibility + To Kill a Mockingbird)
What book mash-ups would you read?
If Mermaids Wore Suspenders 
The Great Jane NEEDS to happen omg!!

Maybe Dangerous Karenina ? (Dangerous Liaisons + Anna Karenina)? The love affairs, the guilt in one, the absolute lust in the other, something interesting could happen, don’t you think?
Yours are fantastic too! I still haven’t read 1984. What did you think of it?

I actually haven’t read Dangerous Liaisons, but it does sound like an interesting mash-up! 1984 is one of my favorite classics! It made my brain hurt and question everything by the time I finished, but in a good way haha. I would highly recommend it!

Great! It’s going on my ever growing reading list.
Dangerous Liaisons was a fantastic read too. I read it in school for a literature assignment and despite being young, I remember absolutely loving it. I can imagine I would appreciate it even more so now I’m a little older and more mature.

Ivanhoe and Thumbelina – this one was proposed during by an online random generator of plot mashups I found and I’ve been trying to work out how to do it for years. The two stories have the same character arcs and archetypes and I think it’s doable. I just can’t work out exactly how.
