Never Flirt with Puppy Killers
Never Flirt with Puppy Killers: And Other Better Book Titles | Dan Wilbur
21 posts | 10 read | 106 to read
Classics (the books youve lied about reading). Actual Classics (Greek and Latin books people dont even pretend to have read). Contemporary fiction (those books people talk about at parties that youve "definitely heard of but never bothered to pick up). Childrens (books that say the most with the fewest number of words, i.e. The Best Books). Reference (Those books that were around before Google). From childrens literature, The Very Hungry Caterpillar gets the retitle Eat Until You Feel Pretty. An American classic, The Great Gatsby is switched to Drink Responsibly. And from contemporary fiction, Gone Girl is retitled A Tale of Two Shitty People. Theres something here for every reader.

Saved this from the tagged book read earlier this year. Lots of funny alternative titles.

From classics to children‘s books and everything in between, the author “improves” upon the names of books. At times laugh out loud funny, pictures are some of my favs.

From a fun collection of covers reimagined with the "real" titles of famous works. Here, of course, is Oscar Wilde's "Never Stab a Magic Painting" ?

So many entertaining 'better book titles' in this one. It was too hard to choose just one favorite! Thanks to @WanderingBookaneer who gave me this when she and @BookishMarginalia picked me up at the airport last night. 💜

This book went overboard and didn't just make me smile. I nearly fell off the couch and maybe peed myself a bit from laughing. #booksthatmakeyousmile

thegirlwiththelibrarybag That's quite the recommendation! Not one to read on public transport then? 😂 8y
elkeOriginal @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Only if you want the seat next you left open because people are worried about your cackling 😉 Actually that sounds like a good plan... 8y
TheSpinecrackersBookClub Haha. I love the title. 8y

This book is amazeballs. I opened to this spread and did not stop laughing until the last page. Eyes leaking, sore gut laughing. Thank you book gods for all of your creations - and the ability to make fun of them in equal measure 📚😂

Blair_Reads Hahahaha the HP title. That's amazing 8y

WordWaller I have no idea how you keep up! I'm just a bookseller and I have too many ARCs 😂 8y
Anei It's true, you should probably avoid flirting with puppy killers. I'm pretty sure they would disapprove of that many books. 8y
Emiller I want your office!! 😊😊 8y
IndyHannaJones You are just too cool for school ma'am. 8y
Zelma So you have the dilemma of wanting to read a book on the bottom but not moving the stack? Or do you rearrange often? 8y
OceanCityBooks That's an enviable problem to have! 8y
LauraLeah Are those all waiting to be read? 8y
andreadmw I'll quit my day job and come help you read all those? Say yes? Please!! 😜 8y

Couldn't stop chuckling (so much that hubby finally asked what I was laughing at)! Funny alternative titles of novels and non-fiction: from the classics via your favourite children's book to contemporary fiction. Any booklover's delight!

KVanRead I need this in my life! 8y

This impulse buy from Mrs. Dalloway's in Berkeley was the best $10 I've spent in awhile. Cannot stop laughing.
