Read the Weird Books That Really Exist.
11. How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found
This supposed handbook for those who really have something to hide features sections dedicated to procuring new identification papers, finding a job, pseudocide, and more, but its hard to take advice from an author who misspells disappear not once, but seven times. Its also unfortunately almost 20 years out of date avoiding paper trails are the least of a wouldbe disappearers worries these days.
12. Sun beams may be extracted from cucumbers but the process is tedious
David Daggetts 1799 Fourth of July oration is a Federalist response to Thomas Jefferson that presumably had little to do with cucumbers or sunbeams, which makes its extremely incongruous title all the more delightful.
13. How Green Were the Nazis
Would Goebbels have driven a Prius? Did the Butcher of Lyon recycle his empty aluminum cans? Of all the adjectives one might associate with Hitlers regime, ecofriendly is not one that immediately springs to mind.
14. How to Survive a Garden Gnome Attack
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in garden gnomes. This is the book every survivalminded citizen needs to prepare for an apocalyptic vision more terrifying than zombies or aliens because anything could be lurking behind those innocent expressions.
15. Knitting With Dog Hair
Come to think of it, scarves made of wool from some strange, anonymous sheep have always felt a bit impersonal.
16. How to Teach Physics to Your Dog
Therapy dogs can soothe survivors of traumatic events by their mere presence an ability Chad Orzel seems to hope translates to teaching quantum mechanics to the nonphysicists among us. Emmy, a German shepherdmix whos quick to catch on to abstract concepts, is an effective teaching tool for Orzels actual audience humans and shes pretty cute to boot.
17. Manifold Destiny
Were not experts, but if your vintage car engine runs hot enough to cook a fullcourse meal, you might want to call a mechanic. If youre lucky, maybe theyll agree to be paid in side dishes.
18. Royal Knit
Forget trying to cop Duchess Kate Middletons style with storebought items. Instead, knit your own outfits worthy of Buckingham Palace. The book includes patterns for a yarn replica of the St. Edwards Crown as well as an original design for a pair of slippers that look like Corgis, in a nod to the reigning monarchs preference for the Welsh herd dogs. A guardsmans iconic bearskin hat, However, might be beyond the books scope.
19. Dating for Under a Dollar
Dont be so quick to label buyers of this book a cheap date. Keep in mind that Dating for Under a Dollar was published over a decade ago in 1999; adjusting for inflation, a dollar then was equivalent to a whopping $1.34 today. Thats more than enough to buy a candy bar or a small order of fast food fries, which sounds like a nifty date A single dollar isnt quite equal to the selling price of Blair Tolmans book, but the extra few dollars would probably be worth it for 299 better frugal dating ideas than mine.
20. The Best Fences
As the old proverb (sort of) goes, the best fences make the best neighbors. Never settle for less.
