Books and reading. And potatoes. What, that doesn’t ring a bell for you? Well, the thing with spuds is they really can liven up any occasion. And that’s why we’ve decided to ruin canonical literature with the following reimagined classic titles. Pathetic? No. Potato!

50 Shades of Potatoes

Erotic thriller about spuds. Some people find them very attractive, apprently. Okay.

Sense and Sensibility and Potatoes

One Hundred Years of Potatoes

Virginia Woolf’s romp about a party, with Mrs. Potatoes doing herself up as a sweet potato in defiance against normal ones. A feminist classic – it put women and potatoes on the map.

On the Potatoes

Jack Kerouac’s beat generation romp is all about life on the spuds. The writer penned it in three days on a potato bender – he often snorted it straight through his earlobes for divine inspiration. Nice one, Kerouac!

Brave New Potatoes

And finally…

In Cold Potatoes

Truman Capote knew just how cold potatoes could be. So he invented the microwave to eat them warm. This is what his classic work of cooking fiction is all about.
