Strange but True Book Titles?

Have you ever encountered a strange or very intriguing book title?

Here are some titles from our catalog that I find interesting:

How to Survive a Horror Movie

The Sweet Potato Queens' Wedding Planner/Divorce Guide

The Executioner Always Chops Twice

Al Capone Does My Shirts

The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things

How to Survive a Robot Uprising

Don't Pee on My Leg and Tell Me It's Raining

Six-Legged Sex: The Erotic Lives of Bugs

Outwitting squirrels

Getting Stoned with Savages

How to Lose Friends & Alienate People

If I Were An Evil Overlord

The Gallery of Regrettable Food

I think we could use these strange but true book titles in a video or an interesting blog post. Imagine a video of someone frenetically pulling these strange book titles from the shelves until she find the one she needs.

Do you have more strange book titles to add? Anything to add to the idea?

My favorite is Meatball Sundae, a book on out-of-sync marketing.

I recently checked out How to Fossilize Your Hamster: and Other Amazing Expriments for the Armchair Scientist.

This would be a great blog post also. You could ask the public for their favorite titles and add those to the video. Love the video idea.
