Totally Weird and Hilarious Book Titles

These book titles were so weird that they literally left my jaw hanging.

Normally when shopping for a good book, you stroll up and down the aisle looking at all those shelves of books for that one particular title that catches your eye. Once you spot it, you check out the cover, flip it over, and read the back cover, right? That’s how it all begins, that first attraction between you and that one special book is the title.

Now during some of these searches for that special book title, you’ve more than likely come across a large variety of different titles that have caught your eye. Well, that’s what I thought too, until I came across a selection of book titles that literally left my jaw hanging on the floor! These book titles were so weird that I decided to share them with you.

Who knows? Maybe they’ll leave your jaw dropping or just make you burst out laughing. One thing’s for sure, you’ll definitely agree that these are some really weird frigging book titles.

    Lesbian horse stories? Bwaa-haa-haa!

  2. Posted February 3, 2009 at 8:54 am

    I agree that these are weird titles. Are they available at the bookshop? I’ll go and have a look then. Thanks.

    And we wonder what is wrong with our world. A safety manual for lesbians, 101 super uses for tampons. Are any of them on the top 100 selling list? Our morals in this country are going down faster than the economy. Unbelievable book titles Debra.

  4. Posted February 3, 2009 at 9:49 am

    People, these are all actual book titles. All you have to do is go and look them up. Granted, they are weird, aren’t they though?

    Lol another super article well done my friend.

    Has anyone else been having trouble reviewing and stumbling articles for others? Every time I have tried to do so I get the white screen of Death.

  6. Posted February 3, 2009 at 10:07 am

    I agree with hfj. Our morals are all but gone. This is further proof of the media decadence that I spoke of in my article “Infidelity.” I could laugh at some of these titles if thay did not have such a dangerous influence, especially on the young.

  7. Posted February 3, 2009 at 10:15 am

    #12,Hahaha. Those are quite funny, Debra. Good article.

  8. Posted February 3, 2009 at 10:53 am

    I don’t think I would crack the cover on most of these but number 12 could be helpful to some….maybe.

    Good list, Debra.

  9. Posted February 3, 2009 at 11:11 am

    You couldn’t make it up! Thanks for that Debra, unbelievable!

  10. Posted February 3, 2009 at 11:55 am

    weird but they got noticed and now they will get sought out again!!
    Good article.

  11. Posted February 3, 2009 at 12:25 pm

    I think these are weird, but interesting finds.

  12. Posted February 3, 2009 at 12:38 pm

    Call me weird, but I found these titles hilarious. I’m with Darlene, number 12 might make the best seller list. There’s enough people who could heed such advice. Great article.

  13. Posted February 3, 2009 at 1:07 pm

    I’ve actually seen some of these titles at the bookstore. Glad you made a list. I bet there are more and still more yet to be published.

  14. Posted February 3, 2009 at 2:30 pm

    Joni, Darlene.. if you follow #12 you might end up reading #3.

    really funny Deb!

  15. Posted February 3, 2009 at 3:24 pm

    I’ve always wanted to be a lesbian horse,now I can find out how.
    Thanks.You are so funny somtimes.

  16. Posted February 3, 2009 at 3:30 pm

    I don’t know, #7 might be considered environmentally friendly…

  17. Posted February 3, 2009 at 3:47 pm

    Yeah…weird.

  18. Posted February 3, 2009 at 6:33 pm

    I had to laugh. I would think these titles wouldn’t sell many books.Guess you can never tell about human nature.

  19. Posted February 3, 2009 at 6:35 pm

    Hilarious and weird. Congrats for being on the top 10 with this one, Deb. :)

  20. Posted February 3, 2009 at 6:54 pm

    Wow that is some weird stuff, I actually think I may check into a few of these more…conservative books. Nice piece.

  21. Posted February 3, 2009 at 8:10 pm

    You pick a good list. Like it.

  22. Posted February 3, 2009 at 8:57 pm

    Well done Debra. Original, light and fun, creating a load of funny comments to read as a bonus. I’m a happily married man, but if I wasn’t, does #12 mean in case she tries to kick me there?

  23. Posted February 3, 2009 at 8:58 pm

    ha!ha! LOL!! #1 and #7 sound like people who’ve gone WAY TOO FAR with the whole recycling bit! Loved this!

  24. Posted February 3, 2009 at 9:21 pm

    LOL. My kind of books :)

    The Hoffman book you can get online–it’s an anarchist classic. (Or is that a contradiction in terms?)

  28. Posted February 4, 2009 at 2:21 am

    Nice concept piece, Debra :) Personally #7 really gave me the willies. Leave it to Abbie Hoffman to come up with a title like “Steal this Book”! lol!

    Great and loving. You did an excellent job. 5 stars!

  32. Posted February 4, 2009 at 7:10 am

    Wow quite the list lol great article

  33. Posted February 4, 2009 at 8:35 am

    Some real howlers, I must say. I don’t think I’ll be looking out for any of those titles though – yet who would?

  34. Posted February 4, 2009 at 8:59 am

    Wow, some of those sound fun. *insert evil laugh here* I’ve actually read “steal this book” though, it’s a pretty famous title.

  35. Posted February 4, 2009 at 10:46 am

    Hysterical article. Some of the comments are pretty funny too!!! Some people take life way too seriously. Keep up the great work Deb!

  36. Posted February 4, 2009 at 11:26 am

    Just way too crazy!!!

  39. Posted February 4, 2009 at 2:36 pm

    The funniest title I thought was:
    If You Want Closure In Your Relationship Start With Your Legs…. because it’s exactly what I believe too.
    Thanks, Deb, and have a great day.

  40. Posted February 4, 2009 at 7:13 pm

    Indeed, definately strange book titles,
    but, that doesnt mean the book is strange nor bad, aye?
    Like the saying goes…”don’t judge a book by its cover”
    Just in this case by its title xx (:
