It’s Monday and I’m in a quirky mood, which is why today’s news is about to get quirky. I found out about another kind of list that is compiled for books: The Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year. Here is the shortlist in the running for the 30th annual prize:
I Was Tortured by the Pygmy Love Queen
Cheese Problems Solved
How to Write a How to Write Book
People who Mattered in Southend and Beyond: From King Canute to Dr Feelgood.
If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs.
Are Women Human? And other International Dialogues.
The winner will be determined via public vote on the Bookseller’s website and announced on March 28, 2008. The winner receives a magnum of champagne (fitting prize, don’t you think?)
Why not be apart of the action? Vote for your favorite title .
