Funniest Book Titles of the Last 30 Years


I read this story today about a contest to determine the weirdest and funniest book title from the last 30 years. The award is called the "Diagram Award" named after a book publisher noticed that one of the books produced by his company was entitled "Diagram of Diagrams." Here were some of the finalists for the award:
  • "People Who Don't Know They're Dead"

  • "How To Avoid Huge Ships."

  • "Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice"

  • "How To Bombproof Your Horse"

  • "If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs"

  • "Highlights in the History of Concrete"

  • "The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories"

  • Versailles: The View From Sweden

  • The Book of Marmalade: Its Antecedents, Its History, and Its Role in the World Today

and the winner:
  • "Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers"
