Le livre drôle intitule j'aimerais voir...

Funny book titles I'd like to see...


Okay, so my parents (and maybe your parents too!?) used to sit around and come up with funny book titles and authors for entertainment before TV and the Internet became a part of everyday life. I thought these were pretty funny and added a few of my own.


Yellow River by I.P. Daily

Bouncing Balls by Wong Hung Lo

Rustle in the Bushes by Izzy Onner

Hole in the Bedspread by Seymour Butts

Tiger's Revenge by Claude Balls

Rape in the Filling Station by Woo Pumped Ethel

Emancipation by Frieda Blaques

Ten Miles to the Outhouse by Willie Makeit and Betty Don't

Open Kimonos by Seymour Hair

Missed Opportunities by Ida Dunner

Open Relationships by Frieda Fondle


Ho testa bizzarra,
Son pronta e vivace,
Brillare mi piace, mi piace scherzar.
Se monto in furore di rado sto al segno,
Ma in riso lo sdegno fo presto a cangiar.
Ho testa bizzarra
Ma core eccelente

I have a crazy head,
I am quick and lively,
I love to shine, I love to have fun.
If I get furious, I rarely stay that way,
But to laughter I soon change the anger.
I have a crazy head,
But an excellent heart…

{ Donizetti – Don Pasquale, Quel guardo il cavaliere }
