Cool Book Titles

[julesapple]

Have just been browsing Amazon, and came across a book called

Hen and the Art of Chicken Maintenance

Love it! That's really tickled me (simple things etc etc) Inventive use of the language is something I love, and always find Terry Pratchett and J K Rowling books brilliant for that reason.

Anyone know any more cool titles?

I thought the "Eats shoots and leaves" (I always forget where the comma goes) was a brilliant title.

I also have a book called "Is it me, or is everything Sh*t?" which I quite enjoy reading occasionally.

I may have to have a little Amazon session!


I bought 'Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes' and 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius' based solely on the titles!

'Practical Demon Keeping'.......sounds like a handy book!

Bored of the Rings - By The Harvard Lampoon

A parody of guess what book?

[lizzylemon]

One of my favs is:

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

It's a truly lovely story which made me laugh out loud and cry out loud too. Very sweet, definitely a little unusual, a simply gorgeous and normal story about growing up by a chap called Mark Haddon

Oh Yes! Haven't they produced 'The Soddit' too?

I also love this;

"The Savoy Cocktail Book - Being In The Main A Complete Compendium Of The Cocktails, Rickeys, Daisies, Slings, Shrubs, Smashes, Fizzes, Juleps, Cobblers, Fixes And Other Drinks. Known And Vastly Appreciated In This Year Of Grace 1930" by Harry Craddock

Cool titles!
