Its a list of bizarre book titles, and there's some absolute corkers in here, such as:

A Letter to the Man Who Killed My Dog; 1956

How to Cook Roadkill: Gourmet Cooking; 1987

The Baby Jesus Touch and Feel Book, by Linda Parry, Alan Parry (Illustrator); 1995

It's a Gas! A Study of Flatulence, by Eric S. Rabkin, Eugene M. Silverman; 1991

And so on. Oh my sides!

So, come up with some of your own strange book titles, either real or imaginary! I trust you lot to make me cry with hilarity.

I met the author of 'Krek Waiters Peak Bristle'. If you know my old home area and accent you might get what it's about.

This book is SO COOL! They showed it on Rove Live (TV show a bit like Letterman) and I wanted to go find a copy. I think it is brilliant.

The Beverly Hillbillies Bible Study.

Actually, not a book per se but an instruction booklet + video tape -- I just wanted a decent place to share this product with ILx massive.

I'm marking a set of stories right now--truthfully, my least favorite thing one has to do as a grade 6 teacher. Anyway, just encountered a great title: The Island of Treasure. Better than The Wake of Finnegan, not as good as The Complaint of Portnoy or The Dick of Moby.
