Closure" wins oddest book award


Self-help manual If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs won this year's oddest book title ...

-The book took an impressive one-third of the 8,500 votes cast online in The Bookseller's 30th annual competition.

The winner beat stiff competition from other shortlisted titles including the somewhat niche "Cheese Problems Solved" and "How to Write a How to Write Book" and the rather provocative "Are Women Human? And Other International Dialogues".

The annual competition was launched in 1978 at the Frankfurt Book Fair when it was won by the memorably titled "Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice".

What a great title!

As a writer, I am perhaps more tuned in to titles than others might be. I always try to give my posts "catchy" titles, because it is my first--and possibly last--opportunity to grab a busy reader's attention. The title above has a very subtle sexual allusion. When I incorporate sexual allusions into my titles, you just would not believe how many more comments I get. Sex sells!!
