I couldn't resist this.
Did you know that Booksellers Magazine (this is an awesome geek mag geared towards all book lovers) runs an annual Oddest Book Title contest?
Here's the BRILLIANT list of this years nominees!
• 'Baboon Metaphysics' by Dorothy L Cheney and Robert M Seyfarth.
• 'Curbside Consultation of the Colon' by Brooks D Cash.
• 'The Large Sieve and its Applications' by Emmanuel Kowalski.
• 'Strip and Knit with Style' by Mark Hordyszynski.
• 'Techniques for Corrosion Monitoring' by Lietai Yang.
And the *winner* is (drum roll please!)....
• 'The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-milligram Containers of Fromage Frais' by Professor Philip M. Parker.
And if that wasn't enough silliness for you check out some of the "unlucky" titles that failed to make the list:
'Excrement in the Late Middle Ages'
'Tiles of the Unexpected: A Study of Six Miles of Geometric Tile Patterns on the London Underground',
'All Dogs Have ADHD' (This one is my PERSONAL favorite and it was clearly robbed of it's spot on the top six!)
While we don't carry any of these titles in the OSL system, email me at ChristinaWolfskehl@yahoo.com and I will gladly order you them through our out-of-state interlibrary loan service. I mean this. Honestly! I REALLY want to see that 'All Dogs Have ADHD' book!
