[Ron Obvious]

4. "The Beginner's Guide to Sex in the Afterlife"?

Well, how fortunate we are that there are experts among us to write a book like that.

[rrneck]

29. I bought a companion book to that called "How to wash your pussy"

As a gag gift. Actually, it was more like a booklet. Maybe 25 pages long.

[malthaussen]

11. "Mommy Drinks Because You're Bad?"

Now, most of those are pretty humorous, but that one is plain horrible.

13. Pieces of Intelligence: the existential poetry of Donald Rumsfeld

http://www.amazon.com/Pieces-Intelligence-Existential-Poetry-Rumsfeld/dp/0743255976

[shenmue]

14. Hilarious

I have to wonder, are some of these fake?

[Bucky]

16. Yes, the "Mommy Drinks Because You're Bad" one is a parody from several years ago

Also, a number of those books had intentionally bad names. Obviously that's a different category than "Pooh Gets Stuck". Not to mention that a number of the books had perfectly ordinary titles, but featured a child sitting in an adult's lap, suggestion that any act of having a child in one's lap is implicitly pedophiliac. This is part of the pornographication of everyday life. Which is something I'm getting pretty tired of, myself.

15. "Great Guano Rush" didn't make the cut ...

[underpants]

17. the naked guy in the water with the axe

[Lil Missy]

19. marked for later

[jmowreader]

20. The last one has a very good title

It's short and succinct, and clearly explains the vital information therein.

[LiberalEsto]

23. "Why Cats Paint"

[LiberalEsto]

24. Read the reviews for "How to Avoid Huge Ships"

Here:

http://www.amazon.com/Avoid-Huge-Ships-John-Trimmer/dp/0870334336/ref=sr_1_fkmr3_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1394154555&sr=8-3-fkmr3&keywords=Amazon+%22How+to+Avoid+Huge+Ships%22

You will laugh yourself sick. Guaranteed.

[Yavin4]

25. {Insert asinine title} by Anne Coulter n/t

[valerief]

26. Hilarious! I want to read every single one of them--except the poo ones. nt

[Nevernose]

27. I own a copy of "How to Shit in the Woods"

A fascinating book for outdoorsy types and purposely poorly named.

[NewJeffCT]

28. Lesbian Horse Stories?

WTF is that?

And, "it's easy to play classical themes" is fine as a title, I think. The picture of the little boy in the man's lap is quite inappropriate.
