Title: Book Titles
Post by James Fingas on Aug 22^nd, 2003, 1:38pm

I've been debating whether or not I should put this up for a while now. Today, I figure: why not?

I've always thought that these are pretty clever: book titles with interesting author's names. They can range from stupidly obvious:

You Say Tomayto, I Say ... -- Tom Otto

to slightly puzzle-ful:

I'm Smart, I'm Strong, So Why Do I Feel Like Something Is Missing? -- Reynes N. Rawn

to rather geeky:

The Open Interval -- D. D. Kind

I know there are a lot of them out there. Do you have any favourites? Ones you made up yourself? Especially the puzzle-ful ones.

More Than Six Feet -- Barry M. Deepa
Slip, Slap, and Slop: Avoiding Sun Exposure -- Dave Ampire
Is Dyslexia Really A Problem? -- Ab L. Utesoly
Mechanical Tolerancing: The Household Edition -- Doris Tuck
The Importance of Appearance -- Rich Kidd
Toilet Removal For When It's Really Stuck -- John Cutter
Windows: 10 Years of Hidden Bloat -- Reg S. Tree
Why Everybody Likes Me -- Greg Airyus
You Don't Want My Life Story, and I Don't Want Yours -- Bart Hender
Get The Goods, Keep The Cash -- Sally Anne Shopper
Perpetuating a Wild Goose Chase -- Leslie DaMawn
We Get Signal -- Allah Ubase
A Telltale Splish-Splash -- Madame Esproken

Oh, it's funny you posted this now. I just started a job working for a Publishing warehouse, so I have books and titles coming out of my ears.
Funny thing; after looking at them all day, I can't remember any of them.
