Heather Thomas (5peasinapod) | 47 comments Not a funny title...but I bought a book on procrastination and thought "would I ever get around to reading it?"

Mel (melcdn) | 90 comments Anything by Laurie Notaro pretty much, gems include:
"I thought you would be Prettier."
"Idiot Girl and the Flaming Tantrum of Death" (this one is the one that inspired me to pick up her books on the strength of the title alone)
"There is a (slight) chance I may be going to Hell."

Diane  (dianedj) I think "When You Are Engulfed in Flames" by David Sedaris is a pretty odd title. I mean, really, when you think about it.

Sara ♥ (saranicole) Wow... sounds like a book I could use... Not that my marriage is bad or anything, I just have a... errr... violent streak temper...

Rose (roseo) Doesn't every wife? :D
I guess that's why she wrote the book.
I find the title quite amusing!

Cassie (cassielo) | 42 comments I always thought The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things was a hilarious title.

'Tis Pity She's a Whore takes the early prize, I think. (first performed in the 1600s!)

Dara | 88 comments 'Big Hair and Flying Cows' was one that caught my attention 3-4 yrs ago at the library. How could I NOT pick it up. I read it in one night and laughed out loud the entire time.


Jamie (The Perpetual Page-Turner) (perpetualpageturner) | 636 comments I'ts not really an "odd" book title..but it is interesting and I love it.

message 69: by Colleen (new)

Colleen Here's an odd title: "The man who mistook his wife for a hat" by Oliver Sacks

Brilliant!! Have you read it? How is it?

Colleen: The Oliver Sacks book is really interesting, if you are into neurology, etc. He's the doctor whose work inspired the film Awakenings.




message 72: by John (new)

John Burns Phillip K dick had some weird titles. "the man whose teeth were all exactly alike" seals it for me.
