The Weird Book Room If you have a hankerin' for the seriously highbrow, for classics such as Natural Bust Enhancement With Total Mind Power, 50 Ways to Use Feminine Hygiene Products in a Manly Manner and Is Your Dog Gay?, this is the place for you.

I want to read The Thermodynamics of Pizza. And the Pop-up Book of Phobias!

I resolve to try this and conquer depression once and for all! I don't think I need the book since the title says it all.

From my own bookshelves I'd nominate this

The Bible Cure for Irritable Bowel Syndrome actually explains a lot about a few dozen Xians I've met.

I was kind of surprised to see a Steven Blush book on there, even if it is about Hair Metal. I've got a copy of his book American Hardcore and thought it was pretty well done. Judging by a cursory view, he's the only author I've heard of on this list.

Fun post, jp!

We own The social history of the machine gun. It's brilliant! So after I saw that I was sorta nervous how many other books we own would be there, but no, none. Whew! I do admit, though, that some of those might be on my wish list. Umm I guess it's obvious that I should be taking the AskMe thread about how to pare down book hoarding a little to heart.
