It's full of plums

Twitter is full of plums the moment.

Here's my 2014 entry 50,000 Meows rehacked into 50,000 Plums.

icebox.py takes an existing book and replaces all words with a plum of the same length, keeping punctuation.

Output

• The Courage of Captain Plum, by James Oliver Curwood
  • With translation
• The Book of Pears and Plums, by Edward Bartrum
  • With translation

This is a bit of a late entry because I only got the idea yesterday and did this in 20 minutes this morning.
