Oddest Title of the Year?

If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start with Your LegsSo I just heard of something called the "Diagram Prize for Oddest Title of the Year"
It is a humorous literary award given to - yes, you guessed it - the book with the oddest title that was published that year.
Some of my favorites from the list of past winners include:
  • Last Chance at Love - Terminal Romances
  • The Book of Marmalade: Its Antecedents, Its History, and Its Role in the World Today 
  • How to Avoid Huge Ships (wtf?)
  • Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers
  • Living with Crazy Buttocks
  • If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start with Your Legs (rofl)
  • Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice (Nude mice??)
The Book of Marmalade: Its Antecedents, Its History and Its Role in the World Today, Together With a Collection of Recipes for Marmalades & MarmaladeI believe some books actually get published with this prize in mind! 
Have you any submissions for this year's Oddest Title prize?

  1. PMSL! I nearly spat my cup all over my iPad reading those! Hilarious. I love the ship one and the Greek Postmen, but that last one totally did me in. :-D

  3. Great title! My school library has a book called "Throw your legs over your shoulders", which is a Holocaust memoir!
