6 Books Top Odd Title List

Every year since 1978, Britain's Bookseller magazine has awarded the Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year, the Telegraph reports. The mag's six-title shortlist just came out:

• Baboon Metaphysics
• Curbside Consultation of the Colon

• The Large Sieve and its Applications
• Strip and Knit with Style
• Techniques for Corrosion Monitoring
• The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-milligram Containers of Fromage Frais

Unfortunately, Monumental Beginnings: Archaeology of the N4 Sligo Inner Relief Road and Sketches of Hull Authors, published before 2008, just missed the cut-off date.
