For 30 years, The Bookseller magazine has searched far and wide for its annual weirdest book title. In How to Avoid Huge Ships and Other Implausibly Titled Books, it has compiled some of the strangest ones to date. (The first pick set the bar for weird: Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice. Sexay!) Click here to find out how you can contribute an opening paragraph to a title you like! And for my favorite picks, read more.

One of my friends was recently telling me about how hard-core vegetarians and vegans tend to have sadistic tendencies. Maybe she read that book.
