The Twenty Oddest And Funniest Book Titles Ever

Teh Master Gamer
Ever think you could judge a book by its title? Then these books would make very interesting literature! The following is a list of books with "interesting" titles to say the least. Hope you enjoy reading the titles as much as the books themselves!

1) 100 Proofs That the Earth is Not a Globe! - W. Carpenter (1871)

(yeah we all know that's true...)

2) A Toddler's Guide to the Rubber Industry - D. Lowe (1947)

(hmmmm... toddlers want to know about rubber...)

3) Constipation and Our Civilization - James C. Thomson (1943)

(Yeah that's a very important part of our civilization huh?)

4) The Gay Boys of Old Yale! - John Denison Vose (1869)

(Now this is an interesting book!)

5) Full Revelations of a Rat Catcher after 25 Years' Experience - Ike Matthews (1898)

(Something I always wanted to read about!)

6) Colon Cleanse The Easy Way! - Verna Burnett and Jennifer Weiss (1979)

(there's an easy way to do this? I should have read this book last year...)

7) Eleven Years a Drunkard; or, The Life of Thomas Doner, Having Lost Both Arms Through Intemperance, He Wrote This Book With His Teeth as a Warning To Others - Thomas Doner (1878)

(I guess this one speaks for itself)

8) Sex Life of the Foot and Shoe -William A. Rossi (1976)

(Another one of those things I always wanted to know about!)

9) Teach Yourself Alcoholism - Meir Glatt (1843)

(I always wanted to try it but never knew how...)

10) Living Without Eating - Herbert Thurston (1931)

(Read this book at your own risk!)

11) Cooking With God - Lori David & Robert Robb (1978)

(I wonder what sort of food God eats...)

12) Daddy Was an Undertaker - McDill McCown Gassman (1952)

(That's better than mine... he was a rapist.. just kidding ;] )

13) How I Know That the Dead Are Alive - Fanny Ruthven Paget (1917)

(Oh my Gosh! I always thought I was the only person to believe this!)

14) Gay Agony - H.A. Manhood (1930)

(No comment...)

15) A Letter to the Man Who Killed My Dog - Richard Joseph (1956)

(I seriously need to buy this book! LOL!)

16) The Manliness of Christ - Thomas Hughes (1931)

(I wonder if this is included in the bible?)

17) Chancho: A Boy and His Pig in Peru - Sutherland Stark (1947)

(I met him online!)

18) I Was Hitler's Maid - Pauline Kohler (1940)

(This would probably make interesting reading.. I wonder what Hitler did with his maids that made them interesting enough to write a book about it?)

19) The Bright Side of Prison Life - Captain S. A. Swiggett (1897)

(This guy probably read "Gay Agony"...)

20) Why Bring That Up? A Guide To and From Seasickness - Dr. J. F. Montague (1936)

(My question exactly)

    "The Baby in the Bag, A Politically Incorrect Tale" had me in stitches from the very first page. I highly recommend you check this out and I'm sure you'll add it to your list.
