I can't help it: These books arrive and their titles are just too amusing, clever, amazing, or wild and crazy to ignore--which is exactly what their creators wanted them to be.
People will do almost anything to cut through the clutter. (And to a point, they certainly should--dare I state the obvious by saying there's a lot of clutter out there.)
So, without further ado, and with gratitude and other appropriate kudos to those who dreamed these up, here's another round of funny, clever, and decidedly memorable book titles:
