Nebula Winners in Haiku
This has apparently been out for a while, but it's now recirculating on teh internetz courtesy of matociquala and others, and it's wonderful. The fabulous girls at Smart Bitches, Trashy Books (a great site in general, actually) created haikus for many of the past Nebula Award winners.

1974 - The Dispossessed
You cannot go home
Unless you know home is where
You have never been.
1975 - The Forever War
Spend a million years
Fighting until there’s peace, but
What is left for you?
2002 - American Gods
We brought gods with us.
Pale imitations, they deal
Only in Shadow.
2004 - Paladin of Souls
Her life is over
But she’s not dead yet. What is
Her bastard purpose?
The full list is here, and totally worth reading. (My favorites are those for DUNE, FLOWERS FOR ALGERNON, and Nicola Griffith's wonderful SLOW RIVER).
