Judging a Book by its Title: Spring and Summer edition

Have you ever read a book because you loved the title? Last week’s New York Times had a piece on “odd” book titles that prompted me to think about our strangest ones.  Here’s what I came up with:



BForBeer hc cB is for Beer by Tom Robbins. On sale next month, B is for Beer is a children’s book about beer.  For adults.  If you’re still stumped, check it out here.

My Goat Ate Its Own Legs by Alex Burrett.  A debut collection of tales that explores the weird what-ifs of evolution, devotion, and universal disaster. 

Reasons for and Advantages of Breathing
by Lydia Peelle.  A stellar debut collection of short stories that take place in the American South. 




What do you think? Would you take these books out of the library?
