The greatest things in the world are, in no particular order, dogs and books. Groucho Marx put it best: "outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read."

But what if you could multiply the best-frienditude and put adorable canines in literature?! Or, as Xzibit would say, "Yo dawg, we heard you like dogs, so we put dogs in your book so you can dog while you dog. Dogs!" Here are six brilliant reimaginings of pup-ular novels.

Moby Bone: An obvious choice: dogs are really into finding bones, Ahab is really into finding whales, bones and whales are both white and...live in the sea, sort of? It works. We also just love that doggie sailor outfit.

The Fetcher in the Rye: Holden Caulfield is practically a dog already: he loves whining and looking at ducks and running through fields. Sample dialogue: "Woof woof, bark bark, ya damn phonies."

A Walk to Remember: It was warm out, the leash was comfortable, there were tons of good smells, and Mandy Moore was somehow involved.

I, Marley: Finally, the "world's worst dog" gets to take the story into his own paws. Be sure to have tissues ready for the heartrending final chapter when Marley has to bury his owner's corpse on the family farm.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Puppies: It is a truth universally acknowledge that the original version of this book did not have enough dogs.

Dog with a Blog-to-Book Deal: If there is actually a dog out there that is sentient enough to maintain a regularly-updated weblog, PLEASE CALL US NOW YOUR CONTRACT IS WAITING.

I thought this book was a little silly. But it was very cute. I have to say that Robert Munch is one of the best kids writers in the world. There is something about his books that I think is different then other kids writers books but I do not know what about him that just gives me joy. I have to say it probably was his dream to do what he does best.

I love Monster high. When my friend told me to read this book I read it. I do not know how lame it would be if I did not ever heard or read this book. Also the 3 ghouls that are in this book are Rochelle Goyle, Robecca Steam and Venus Mcflytrap. These girls are one of my many favorites of the monster high girls. I also thought about it and I thought that I should write my very own Monster high book myself.  This was Totally 5 star material.

 I really love pony's they are really cute. This book was very inspirational for me because I thought of writing my very own middle grade book about a pony. It is very cool how they just help there family. The Secret Sisters Club is very cute and very tall telling story title. that the author thought of. And I have a question for her. ''How did you think of such a cute story and title like this book''? I just want to say I know that every one has a secret!

It was amazing book. I think that Mrs Trunchbull is the meanest person in the book. Matilda is very very sweet and so is Mrs Honey. I was happy to finely get to the book. I was very sad about something in the book it was that her parents and brother are very mean to her. But one thing I liked a lot about the book was Matilda has powers. How she uses them is she gets mad and makes things move and other stuff.

It was very good. The thing I liked the most was it was about summer vacation. It made me wish that I can do whatever I want in the summer. I wish that it was happening right now. The book made me feel like it was summer that instant but it was fall. I was very happy to get to the book because I already have like 95 books in my shelf. I felt like I was in a dream with everything in the book was happening. I like the goblins a lot in this story they are always funny.

I thought this book was amazing. I really loved that she was a princess and how she freaks out to her Grandma. It was a book to love. I read the book because my mom recommended it for me to read. And I am happy that she picked this book. Plus on the other hand I have about more than 1 shelf of books to read and they are fuller and fuller every time we go to a dollar store and buy about 5 books each time. But this was definitely a 5 star book.
