According to Comment Central, the strangest book is this gem called The English: Are They Human? I think I’d have to agree — it’s definitely an eye-catching cover due to the title. The book, itself, is showcased on AbeBooks.co.uk’s “weird book room” along with other gems like Is My Dog Gay?1 and Help! A Bear is Eating Me!2
(When I IMed John the link to The English: Are They Human? his answer was, “No, we’re better than just mere mortals.”
)
Anyway, I couldn’t help making a list, too. So here’s Himani’s 10 Strangest Books, In No Particular Order, She Found on the Internet Just Now3:
- How To Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion
- The Mullet: Hairstyle of the Gods
(Bwahaha!)
- Pornogami: A Guide to the Ancient Art of Paper-Folding for Adults
(Now you too can giggle like an elementary school kid as you fold paper into big penises!)
- The Testicle Cookbook: Cooking with Balls (*gag* I think I saw an episode of Bizarre Foods that went like this)
- How to Shit in the Woods: An Environmentally Sound Approach to a Lost Art
- The Haunted Vagina
(I’m actually curious as to what this book is about. How is the vagina haunted? Does it talk? Do things pop out of it and say “Boo!”? According to the book synopsis, a guy finds out that, unfortunately, his girlfriend’s vagina is the gateway to another world
) - Children of the Matrix: How an Interdimensional Race Has Controlled the World for Thousands of Years and Still Does (except, despite the title, the book claims it’s extraterrestrial lizard people controlling humans, not robots, so they mixed up the TV show V and the movie the Matrix)
- People Who Don’t Know They’re Dead: How They Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It (Sounds like a Stephen King novel)
- Gangsta Rap Coloring Book
(you too can have Little Bobby color in a Glock)
- Dick: A User’s Guide (just in case you get lost)
I would just like to say there are some weird books out there. Some weird…scary books.
Footnotes:
- Because that’s an important question to ask, if you’re a dog owner. ↩
- I know you’re supposed to read it before going into the woods or whatever, but I can’t help imagining a person taking this book out as a bear chomps down on his foot. “So…throw a salmon fillet? Damn! I didn’t bring one!”
↩ - And yes, I realize some of them are humor books…but some are not! I also realize I’m totally judging books by their covers. Meh. ↩
