How to write a novel from Google's autocomplete
Begin a Google search for "should i" and you'll see what looks like the high points of a pretty interesting novel:
Just like a good Russian novel, it doesn't have a happy ending.
But begin a search for "should i get" and you see the arc of a story with a more positive ending. It's practically "Bridget Jones's Diary."
Any other good "autocomplete novels" out there? Post 'em in the comments.
"I dreamt I"
"Can I have a"
"Whenever I get"
You saw "I am extremely terrified of Chinese people," right? I'm not sure where that novel would go, but it got some buzz:

"Who is" makes an interesting political/supernatural thriller

Here's a thought: what do we do when this becomes the de facto norm of literature?
Fun: "How to ..."
Seriously, the auto complete is a very useful feature, e.g. for selecting negative words for your AdWords campaign:

That's a cool new hobby, thanks!!
I put in "if I leave", and almost every return indicated there are a lot of people out there who don't know the name of "Freebird" by Lynyrd Skynyrd, but want to.
This would certainly be a book only OCD's could love!
"Why can't I..."
"seeking a"
"where does" (non-fiction)
"they'll" is also very amusing
Try:
"I have to" vs. "I need to"
Both relate to quasi-urgent physical needs.
I'd love to...
If only I could...
