Fun With Classic Book Titles

A Tale of Two Biddies
The Catcher in the Pumpernickel
Grapes of Math
Jane’s Hair
The Plaque
Moby’s Schtick
Moby’s Dick
In Search of Lost Rhyme
Of Mice And Women
The Big Nap
The Tin Eardrum
100 Years of Solitary Confinement
The Executioner’s Bong
Lorna Doone Cookies
Middlemay
The Miller Needs to Floss
The Turn of the Screwdriver
The Importance of Being an Internist

As a book editor for 3 decades, I find these book titles excellent & guffaw-worthy. Sorry, don’t know anyone who bought a hardcover book last yr. Books are becoming gone w/the wind.
