I'm reading this book titled _Prescription for a Healthy House_. Alternate titles I've come up with for it include _Prescription for Anxiety Generation_, _Decisions You Already Botched_, _Items You Can Add to Your List of Ruminations of Why You Got Sick_, _More Reasons to be Bitter About Things Healthy People Don't Need to Worry About_, and _Maybe You Won't Die if You Do All These Things_.
