I confess that I'm a sucker for odd book titles.
There's a sense of wonder: why did someone bother; but another side of me says that I should be open to new experiences. Sometimes that can be a good thing.
It raises existential questions: Should a person knit a sweater out of dog hair? Why would farting be good? What sort of crafts might be made out of pantyhose?
Are there delicious recipes that might be made from roadkill? Am I missing something from my life?
There's a book on Gay Bulgaria. Must be a fascinating read if I return to Varna or Plovdiv.
There is even a book entitled The Romance of Proctology. Fascinating reading for bum doctors.
I did not see these on the list; but there are book titles like Father Christmas Needs to Wee and Bondage for Beginners. I guess the latter one is illustrated.

Those are intrinsically curious,
ReplyDeleteIt seems Bondage for Beginners and Pantyhose Crafts would be purchased together.
ReplyDeleteI must confess to never wearing pantyhose since I was at Ole Miss.
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying my copy of "The Sensuous Dirty Old Man," by Isaac Asimov (writing as "Dr A"). My friend who has a used book business back home in PA found it for me. It's hysterically funny and offers lots of practical tips for men my age. I'm practicing the "cane pivot" now, so that I'll be ready when I need a cane.
ReplyDeleteThose are intriguing reads........
ReplyDeleteYou have wide ranging interests!

ReplyDeletehilarious!
ReplyDeleteThere is a book, "Cuts, Shoota, and Leaves" that is really worth reading.
