Alexey: your short anagrams are indeed amusing. Some of the longer published anagrams go beyond a passing smile to a gasp of disbelief. The following are both anagrams of Hamlet’s soliloquy starting “To be or ...” up to “by opposing, end them.”
1: Is a befitting quote from one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies. But why won't Hamlet's inspiring motto toss our stubborn hero's tortuous battle for life, on one hand, and death, on another?
2: I wrote all of Shakespeare's plays, and the wife and I got together, did most of his sonnets for our entertainment. But tomentors oft attribute that our brash quotes as being bogus. O! no! no! no!
I’m sure you would want to distant yourself from those well-meaning but misguided Oxfordians and Baconians (et al) who take anagram 2 (and many similar) as disproving Shakespeare’s authorship.
Your next mission, Alexey, if you should accept the challenge:
Find passages in TOoL that effectively give ANAGRAMMATIC permission to Vera and DN to override VN’s last Will, and publish (written confirmation of VN’s dream-contacts with his son). You are free, of course, to exploit all known similarities, past and present, between Roman and Cyrillic characters.

Your own anagram theory must certainly apply to still another kind of creation (which I don't think has irony or humor as its chief aim). Real life and fiction are intermingled in a different way. [citing JM, I think? SKB]
True, but some of my anagrams are really amusing and I hope will make one smile:
MARX + ENGELS = ELSINOR + GAMLET + EХIT ˆ TOILET ˆ I (Gamlet is the Russian spelling of Hamlet; in Ada, Gamlet is a Russian hamlet near Ardis Hall)
ТОЛСТОЙ + ДОСТОЕВСКИЙ = СТОЙЛО + СКОТ + ЗЛОДЕЙСТВО + АИ ˆ ЗОЛА = ТОЛСТОЕВСКИЙ + ДОМОСТРОЙ ˆ РОМ
Толстой - Tolstoy
Достоевский - Dostoevski
стойло - stall
скот - cattle; beast
злодейство - villainy; evil deed
Аи - Ay (champagne)
зола - ashes, cinders
Толстоевский - Tolstoevski
домострой - domestic tyrrany; Domostroy is a book written in the 16th century for the young tsar Ivan Vasilievich, a code of moral and religious rules of a Muscovite
ром - rum
