"Another Bullshit Night in Suck City"
-
That was the title of a book I saw recently whilst browsing in a bookstore. It's a book by Nick Flynn. The title was definitely arresting and shouting out to be read! I might return to the bookstore to get it soon!
What are some of the more interesting and unusual titles of books you've come across? -
Ah... another pretty 'loud' title of a book I'm interested in reading soon - "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time".
That book's been in the bookstores for quite a while now. I remember when I first saw it when it was released here, it really caught my attention.
Has anyone read it yet? How would you rate it? -
Sounds like a crappy attempt by a crappy author to earn money through initial book sales

Really? Never thought of it that way.Originally posted by DriftingGuy:Sounds like a crappy attempt by a crappy author to earn money through initial book sales
Actually, I really like the title. I can imagine myself writing a book with that title!

There's a new book at kinokuniya that's titled I, Lucifer. The title is not shocking but the content is, lots of unnatural sex, blowjobs and other sins

There's also this book at Kino I saw, it's a translation of a Japanese book, and it's entitled, 'Vibrator'.Originally posted by The man who was death:There's a new book at kinokuniya that's titled I, Lucifer.

It sounded a bit risque too! It's about this young girl who goes off with some truck driver and discovers herself in the process.
Another book with an attention-getting name - 'Against Love : A Polemic'.
Anyways, I have tons of books to read now so I ought to stop book purchases for a while. Well, ought to, not MUST. -

Thanks for telling me though! I love going to the various bookstores to see if I can get the same book at the best price. But of course, there are certain books that you just need to get right there and then! hehe!
I'm reading 'How I Became Stupid' by Martin Page now. Really interesting book! Unique and a great satire.

Like that famous saying on Life that goes it's not the destination that matters but rather, the journey, it's not finishing the book that matters... it's the enjoyment of it.
A good book should be savoured like good-quality chocolates, tasted tentatively, left to melt on the tongue, swirled around in the mouth, letting the fragrance and taste permeate, and finally allowed to slide down the throat... -
Its an interesting book for it provides an insight into a different thought process altogether. Its a little short though. Nevertheless, a good read.Originally posted by Rhonda:Ah... another pretty 'loud' title of a book I'm interested in reading soon - "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night Time". -

Well, the protagonist's first attempt to become stupid and fit in was...
... to try and become an alcoholic!
BTW, there IS a term 'weekend alcoholic'. -
