Precious Finds

Just getting home from the library, and thought I'd share some quick thoughts on some items that caught my attention.

Best book title: Someday this pain will be useful to you (by Peter Cameron)
Worst book title: The Explosionist (by Jenny Davidson)

Best book description: The human body is beautiful and mysterious. The mysterious part reeks of cheese. But no part of your body is as scary and horrifying as your head! With such amazing information as: #1 Good Reasons for teeth removal: dentist did it; peer pressure; not sharp enough; found better teeth, like, on the ground; suspected of enjoying flossing; decay and mouth politics. #2 The real reason your ears can't hear your pets talking. The answer is simple: your pet is a mumbler. (From "Your disgusting head: The darkest, most offensive and moist secrets of your ears, mouth and nose" - the Haggis-on-Whey world of unbelievable brilliance series)
Worst book description: What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas...except when it doesn't. (from Kitty Raises Hell by Carrie Vaughn - online book summary is different than the book's back cover; someone must have caught on to how stupid that sounded)
