For @Midnight's latest round of #HashtagWars, the show hosted a literary challenge: #InternetABook. The game is simple -- give books a modern twist by adding Internet references to their titles.

For the record, we would 100% read some of these results. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Instagram?" Yes, please!
