April Fools

April 1, 2009 by Bill Bradley

HOT READS FOR THE PRACTIONER

Title: book titles from Hell

Competency: sense of humor

Who benefits: those who need a laugh

Consultant Usage: entertain your friends

What’s it about? Being as this is the time honored day of acknowledging Fools, I thought a day of wacky book titles might be in order! 

Writing for this Blog takes me on some strange twists and turns through the world of books.  (I want to say literature, but many of the books I encounter aren’t literature…some aren’t even literate!)

Today I have no recommendations.  I just thought it would be fun to share with you some of the better book titles I have run across.  I have added links to each book, but please don’t construe that as an endorsement.  But do have fun looking at one or two.  I did.  

Stooples: Office Tools for Hopeless Fools; Okay, this book I recommend! It is short and hysterically funny.
