This is the first time I have to start one of these threads. So forgive me if I do it wrong.
Hopefully I didn't do this one before..

This title was given by the editor and compiler; it's a compiiation --which, in the author's time didn't ex ist except as several different short works. To my mind the editor left out the most important one -- only summarized it.

That's in the wrong place.. so not what I was thinking - I was going for a strange name starting with Mery... :)
So maybe Mercy by Jodi Picoult? Or someone else - I doubt that it's the only book with that name.

Do you know it? Very odd taste in literature in my opinion. Welcome to the club.
OK, your next!

219rolandperkins
I thought the last word was "Press" not "poems" -- Does that say something about my taste in writing? Nah! I have some 20 books in "MY LIbrary" classed as Poetry!
"Search" evidently doesn't have a "very odd taste in literature". They missed this one.

HKU fills up at 301 - that's why I am not participating on this one besides the usual A-- sorry but I won't scroll so many messages so I will wait for someone that actually copies the puzzle so it is convenient to guess this one and post a new one

The wonderful and naughty comic written by the great Alan Moore and illustrated by Melinda Gebbie (who happen to be husband and wife). It took more then a decade to get this published and it is still illegal in many countries.
