Name that Book

My morning NPR listening called my attention the the Diagram Prize for Oddest (book) Title of the year. I think that I actually want to pick up a copy of this year’s winner, People Who Don’t Know They’re Dead: How they attach themselves to unsuspecting bystanders and what to do about it. Other nominees include Nesssus Short and Ethereal Power Tools and Rhino Horn Stockpile Management: Minimum Standards and Best Practices from East and Southern Africa. The voters must be equus-inclined, as winners from prior years are The Big Book of Lesbian Horse Stories and Bombproof Your Horse.
