More Humorous Book Titles

Long & Short Reviews asked reviewers for lists of humorous book titles before, and this week they're doing it again. Can I think of a new list? I can try...These are books I've read. Not all of them are primarily comedy. The titles are not the only funny lines in the books.

Dave Barry, Babies and Other Hazards of Sex
