Best book title

[FSogol]

For me it has to be:

"An arsonist's guide to writers' homes in New England : a novel by Brock Clarke.

1. Oh my. How can anyone beat that one!

I thought I had one, since I just had to read it when I saw the title, but "Sick Puppy" by Carl Hiaasen doesn't come close to your title.

[FSogol]

2. Yeah, it is seldom a title can make you want to read the book, honorable mention goes to

Sherman Alexie for "The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven."

[Curmudgeoness]

3. But are either of the books you mention worthy

of being read? I don't know either, so I can't say.

[FSogol]

4. Heck yes. Brock Clarke also wrote "Exley" about a fictional writer/drinking buddy of his dad

and went as far as to create the writer in real life, or did he? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Exley


And if you haven't discovered, Sherman Alexie, then get to the library. He's an Native American writer/poet and one of the greatest voices working in literature today. I highly recommend everything he has done.

Don't overlook his poetry, either.

7. "Rush Limbaugh is a big fat idiot" - Al Franken

8. Molly Ivins "Bushwacked" ranks right up there
