A book recently experienced a surge of sales after being named the oddest book title in the past 30 years. Anyone want to take a guess at the title? :D

Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers

" It beat "People Who Don't Know They're Dead" and "How To Avoid Huge Ships" into second and third places with 11 and 10 percent respectively."

My mum's reading a book called 'Eat that frog" . . . I think that one's quite wierd.

But yeah, the horse one is cool. :)

Angela Carter wrote a book called "The Infernal Desire Machines of Doctor Hoffman" which always struck me by its oddness.

Is it bad that I haven't heard of these books? They do sound funny by their titles.
How to Bombproof Your Horse
Tell me, how do you bombproof a horse?

Haha, I'm with you. I haven't heard of many of these books. Perhaps I shall have to investigate and invest in some of these. They do sound intriguing.

You can't really bombproof your horse, I've just gone over many of the possibilities but they all seemed to end up in the horse still getting bombed ;)
