Martha shares the winners of a contest for Best Book Titles of the Year. Or would that be Oddest Book Titles of the Year? This is part of a complete episode.
Transcript of “Oddest Book Titles”
You know, Grant, there’s a magazine called The Bookseller, and every year they run a contest for the most strangely named books of the year.
Have you seen this contest?
No, but this sounds exactly like my sort of thing.
What is it?
It’s a contest in which they counted up about 8,500 votes, and this is a contest that historically has called to our attention books like How to Avoid Huge Ships, High Performance Stiffened Structures, Living with Crazy Buttocks, and things like that.
But I thought you’d be interested in this year’s winners.
Third place went to Cheese Problems Solved.
I am getting that book immediately.
Too many holes.
Another entrant this year was I Was Tortured by the Pygmy Love Queen.
But the winner overall was a self-help guide called If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs.
FYI.
What do they mean?
Will you explain that to me?
I’ll get you a book.
Anyway.
Well, if you’ve got a bad book title to suggest, give us a call.
