Odd Books: omg, what's wrong with these titles...




Here are some books that can make you gape at the title for a while...



Anybody Can Be Cool... But Awesome Takes Practice (1988)
by Lorraine Peterson

And you wonder why you got picked on in the 80s and 90s. >.>






Teach Your Wife to Be a Widow (1959)
by Donald Rogers

Why am I not surprised that this book is sold out on Abebooks? XP








The Man Who Left His Wife and Had a Nifty Time (1966)
A Novel of High Infidelity by Bill Manville

A novel of high infidelity? No kidding. >.>

Hmm, that's one long title. I was gonna comment on the length of the title and how that's similar to a lot of talking and redundant explanations, when really, I bet men who "left their wives and had a nifty time" want less talking and more of something else, but I think I'll save it. >.>




Have you seen or heard any strange book titles?

Oh my gosh, those are too funny! I'd be rather worried if my husband brought any of them home! lol

LOL! I LOVE these! I especially like the hand gesture of the 'awesome' guy in the first one.
