  • Cool Book Titles

    Have just been browsing Amazon, and came across a book called

    Hen and the Art of Chicken Maintenance

    Love it! That's really tickled me (simple things etc etc) Inventive use of the language is something I love, and always find Terry Pratchett and J K Rowling books brilliant for that reason.

    Anyone know any more cool titles?

    I thought the "Eats shoots and leaves" (I always forget where the comma goes) was a brilliant title.

    Life's disappointments are so much harder to take if you don't know any swear words.

      LadyWayne bought me this for fathers day:

      How to Feed Your Whole Family a Healthy Balanced Diet, with Very Little Money and Hardly Any Time, Even If You Have a Tiny Kitchen, Only Three ... - Unless You Count the Garlic Crusher...

      How to Feed Your Whole Family a Healthy Balanced Diet, with Very Little Money and Hardly Any Time, Even If You Have a Tiny Kitchen, Only Three ... - Unless You Count the Garlic Crusher...: Amazon.co.uk: Gill Holcombe: Books

      I also have a book called "Is it me, or is everything Sh*t?" which I quite enjoy reading occasionally.

      Is it Just Me or is Everything ****?: The Encyclopedia of Modern Life: Alan McArthur, Steve Lowe: Amazon.co.uk: Books

      And one a friend bought for me:

            I may have to have a little Amazon session!


            I bought 'Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes' and 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius' based solely on the titles!

                  Thoroughly enjoyable read too - the inspiration (if not near copy) for Blade Runner film, also a fav of mine.

                        One of my favs is:

                        The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time

                        It's a truly lovely story which made me laugh out loud and cry out loud too. Very sweet, definitely a little unusual, a simply gorgeous and normal story about growing up by a chap called Mark Haddon

                          Oh Yes! Haven't they produced 'The Soddit' too?

                          I also love this;

                          "The Savoy Cocktail Book - Being In The Main A Complete Compendium Of The Cocktails, Rickeys, Daisies, Slings, Shrubs, Smashes, Fizzes, Juleps, Cobblers, Fixes And Other Drinks. Known And Vastly Appreciated In This Year Of Grace 1930" by Harry Craddock

                          Cool titles!

                            Great book....I would love them to make it in to a film.
