LONDON (AFP) — "If You Want Closure In Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs" ran away with top prize of oddest book title of the year in Britain, according to a new poll.
The book, described as a "self-help manual written by a man for the benefit of women," pipped "I Was Tortured By the Pygmy Love Queen" into second place, followed by "Cheese Problems Solved" in the poll for the Bookseller magazine.
"The winner .. makes redundant an entire genre of self-help tomes. So effective is the title that you don't even need to read the book itself," said Joel Rickett, deputy editor of the publishing industry weekly.
