READING FROM BEHIND
|
READING FROM BEHIND  I’ve been quite amused compiling this post. The post was going to be about Jonathan J Allen’s book, Reading from Behind: A Cultural History of the Anus. I’ve read it and the book's shit! However, I got sidetracked when I found out that the book was shortlisted for this year’s Diagram Prize sponsored by The Bookseller and the Diagram Group. The Diagram Prize is an annual award given to the book with the oddest title. The Reading from Behind book didn’t win the prize; instead the Diagram Prize was awarded to Alan Stafford’s book, Too Naked for the Nazis. Other shortlisted books included Behind the Binoculars: Interviews with Acclaimed Birdwatchers, Soviet Bus Stops and Transvestite Vampire Biker Nuns from Outer Space: A Consideration of Cult Film. In 1978, the very first Diagram Prize was awarded to the Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice published by the University of Tokyo Press. Other notable Diagram Prize winners include: • The Madam as Entrepreneur: Career Management in House • The Joy of Chickens • Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality • Versailles: The View from Sweden • Lesbian Sadomasochism Safety Manual • American Bottom Archaeology • Living with Crazy Buttocks • The Big Book of Lesbian Stories • Bombproof Your : Teach Your to be Confident, Obedient, and Safe No Matter What You Encounter • How People Who Don't Know They're Dead Attach Themselves to Unsuspecting Bystanders and What to Do About It • The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America: A Guide to Field Identification • If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start with Your Legs • Managing a Dental Practice: The Genghis Khan Way • Cooking with Poo • Goblinproofing One's Chicken Coop and Other Practical Advice in Our Campaign Against the Fairy Kingdom The 2008 winner, Professor Philip M Parker’s The 2009-2014 World Outlook for 60-Milligram Containers of Fromage Frais, proved to be particularly controversial. After being awarded with the prize, it was found that the professor didn’t write this scintillating book on plastic containers! Instead he used a computer to write the book. Honourable mention must be made to the 2013 winner, How to Poo on a Date: The Lovers’ Guide to Toilet Etiquette, written by Mats and Enzo. The two authors have now written a series of 'How to Poo' books giving essential advice on how to poo at work, on holiday and in the woods! Mats and Enzo's How to Poo in the Woods book was no doubt inspired by the 1989 winner of the Diagram Prize, How to Shit in the Woods book, written by Kathleen Meyer and now in its second edition. This market is getting quite crowded! What book do you think has the oddest title? What book would you most like to read? I'm very tempted to read Julian Montague's The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America. The title paves the way for a whole series of books on stray shopping carts/trolleys in different regions of North America and even in different regions of the world! Above and below are a few photos of the covers of books that have been awarded or shortlisted for the prestigious Diagram Prize.          |

 Hilarious, Spunky! I'll bet you did have fun with this one, and if it was half as much fun as I had reading it, I'm surprised your heart stood it! What book do you think has the oddest title? Lord, these are all terrific titles, but I like "Too Naked for Nazis" a lot. What book would you most like to read? I'd read every one of these, or at least try. I did read "How to Shit in the Woods". The title was the best part. As a matter of fact I did shit in the woods just the other day, but I didn't need her book to do it. I was shitting in the woods before she was even shitting yellow. Become a member now and get a free tote bag.

I wonder exactly what IS the Genghis Khan way of managing a dental practice...

"Managing a Dental Practice: The Genghis Khan Way" seems to be the oddest, and therefore it's the one I'd be considering. All titles are wacky. I would die laughing while trying to write such a post and would try to "Attach myself to Unsuspecting Bystanders" later... This post is a lot of fun!

I think your book on stray shopping carts in Alberta, especially if signed, will be a best-seller!
