Odd Book Titles?

profen4 · Jun 7, 2011

Not sure if this is in the right place for this post. If I'm wrong hopefully a mod will use their magic powers to transport it.

I just did a blog post http://stevewhibley.blogspot.com/about strange book titles and I thought I'd come here and see if any of you guys have seen some more strange ones. I'd like to have a list.

Thanks for posting it.

Latawnya, the Naughty Horse, Learns To Say "No"To Drugs.

It's about a horse who gives in to peer pressure and begins "smoking drugs and drinking".

The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds

The Sidelong Glances of a Pigeon Kicker by David Boyer. It was filmed under that title in 1970, before being reissued as simply Pigeons. It's quite a rarity nowadays.

One of the most subtly humorous titles ever is William Faulkner's famously poetic Light in August. Sounds really serene and symbolic, don't it?

It comes from a phrase uttered by someone witnessing a pregnant unmarried young woman walking down a dusty road, and remarking that "She'll be light in August."

Philip K. Dick was famed for some really good ones:

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?
Flow My Tears, the Policeman Said
Confessions of a Crap Artist
The Man Whose Teeth Were All Exactly Alike
