WorldWideWords: Odd Book Titles

It's voting time once again in the Bookseller/Diagram contest for the oddest book titles of the year.

The shortlisted six titles are these:

I Was Tortured By the Pygmy Love Queen by Jasper McCutcheon (fiction, alas);

How to Write a How to Write Book by Brian Piddock (those who can, do ..);

Cheese Problems Solved by P L H McSweeney (a bargain at GBP135.00 [270 dollars] );

If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs: A Guide to Understanding Men by Big Boom (experts say this may be a pseudonym);

Are Women Human? And Other International Dialogues by Catharine A MacKinnon (which is described as a critique of the transnational status quo);

People who Mattered in Southend and Beyond: From King Canute to Dr Feelgood by Dee Gordon ("promises to bring Southend to life").


You can visit the Bookseller's site via http://wwwords.org?BKPZ if you want to vote.
