Despite book enthusiasts, teachers, and just about most serious readers telling us not to judge a book by its cover, it's highly probable that we all still do. Even more specifically, the title can just about make or break your decision to look at the blurb. The title of a book should give readers a brief sense of tone, idea, and curiosity; although, this isn't always the case. There are plenty of instances where a title can be so entirely surprising and random that we can't help but either want to know what it's about or just stare in disbelief. Thus, I compiled a list of ten books with the weirdest titles, in no particular order:

10. Teach Your Wife To Be A Widow By Donald Rogers

Apparently, this is the textbook material to be used for all wives who need be financially prepared and responsible in the event that her husband dies. Nothing better than talking about one's own potential death over dinner, or even more so, the competence of your own wife. Something tells me this book wouldn't sell well today.

9. How To Raise Your I.Q. By Eating Gifted Children By Lewis Burke

Whatever you think this book is about, it's not it.

8. Hitler: Neither Vegetarian Nor Animal Lover By Rynn Berry

On the other hand, this book is exactly what you think it is.

7. The Jewish-Japanese Sex & Cook Book And How To Raise Wolves By Jack Douglas

Apparently, this book does not live up to its title. Don't worry though, raising wolves is definitely a large part of this story.

6. Strangers Have The Best Candy By Margaret Meps Schulte

5. Sun-beams May Be Extracted From Cucumbers, But The Process Is Tedious By David Daggett

Quite the interesting book this is. It is actually a compilation of eighteenth century manuscripts. All of the material provides the reader with first-hand knowledge of what it was like to live at the time as an every day individual. No cucumber extractions here, or at least probably not.

4. How To Avoid Huge Ships By John W. Trimmer

You know, in everyday life.

3. Managing A Dental Practice: The Genghis Khan Way By Michael R. Young

Is there any other way? My sources tell me that Genghis Khan was not skilled in dentistry, just a good example of a charismatic leader, so the author incites.

2. Knitting With Dog Hair By Kendall Crolius

Yes, I suppose...

1. Reusing Old Graves By Douglas Davies

There's not much to say about a book that delves into thoughts regarding body disposal and death...nothing much to say at all.

So, there you have it. Ten books with titles much too weird to be taken seriously. If you ask me, I'm intrigued with that boat one.
