Great Book Titles...

Probably already been done, but I'm too lazy to search, so I'm doing it a again...

Great Book Titles

I'll start out with a couple of my favorites:

We Wish to Inform You That Tomorrow We Will be Killed With Our Families - a study of the Rwandan genocide, by Philip Gourevitch...

I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream - Harlan Ellison...

The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven - Sherman Alexie...

Don't Bend Over in the Garden, Granny, You Know Them Taters Got Eyes - Lewis Grizzard...

The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade - Peter Weiss...

Any takers?

 

The Celery Stalks at Midnight

I read this book as a little kid and never forgot it's title :-D


edit - I noticed all your titles are about something serious and mine is silly... sorry if you were trying to make this a serious thread.

 

Haha - good one!

Nah, not seriousness - just good stuff:

Pregnancy For Dummies - Joanne Stone, Keith Eddleman, and Mary Duenwald...wonder if it's illustrated...

:-o

 

When did Lewis Grizzard become a serious author?

 

Ha! Old Lewis - we've got several Grizzard books around here...reminds me of a Grizzard joke:

2 guys at a Univ. of Georgia football game...during halftime, 1 guy sees Uga (the Georgia bulldog mascot) scratching his privates in front of 70,000 people - says: "I wish I could do that!"...2nd guy says: "That dog'll bite youuuu!"...

:drool

 

Adoption for Dummies.

If you need it dumbed down to that level, you probably shouldn't consider becoming a parent in the first place...

 

WHY "SONS OF BITCHES" SUCCEED AND
NICE GUYS FAIL IN A SMALL BUSINESS!

I remembered this title from years ago, and was surprised to see it is actually on the net. I think the title on the book was WSOBSANGFIASB, something like that.

My dad had the book as I remember, like 30 years ago! Odd!

 

Cooking With Pooh...

 

Yum!, yum! :yum (PoooH!)

Just got through reading for the third time 'The Universe in a Nutshell' - Stephen Hawking. Interesting read.

Haha - how about Pooh Gets Stuck, by Isabel Gaines...creates all kinds of visuals...

Hawking is cool, but for some reason, every time I think of him I can't help but bring up the Family Guy spoofs - sick, sick stuff...

Another one: How To Avoid Huge Ships (Second Edition), by Captain John W. Trimmer...they needed a second edition??? :confused

 

Choke - Chuck Palahniuk
Still Life with the woodpecker - Tom Robbins
Half Asleep in frog pajamas - Tom Robbins
another roadside attraction - Tom Robbins

Huge Tom Robbins fan such a great author.

 

Been planning on reading that for awhile now soon as I find some extra time

 

Agreed: I've got Woodpecker - Robbins is certainly different...I've also got Choke...

Here's another: People Who Don't Know They're Dead, by Gary Leon Hill...wth???

 

Reusing Old Graves: A Report on Popular British Attitudes (Shaw & Son, 1995)

If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start with Your Legs (Simon & Schuster, 2007)

How to Shit in the Woods: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art (Ten Speed Press, 1989)

The Madam as Entrepreneur: Career Management in House Prostitution (Transaction Press, 1979)

 

this one makes me smile.

Maybe the first edition wasn't clear enough :-D


Living With Crazy Buttocks :-D

 

Hell, I could write that book!

Simple, yet elegant:

Assault and Pepper...
