My wife loves is when the local library has their book sale. She spends hours perusing and then comes home with a load of grocery bags full of books we never read.The Outdated Western Farms Garden- How to maintain your garden in bell bottoms and leisure suits.
The Router Handbook- 100 completely unsafe things to do with your 1/2 hp fixed base router in a series of poorly drawn diagrams.
The Jello Book - A disturbing collage of chiffon dresses, pipe smoking dads and lobster shaped jello molds.
The English Breakfast Book- Jellied Eels and everything else you never wanted to know about what British people will put on toast.
The Whispers of Tarnis- Book 25 of a 85 book fantasy series, that you will never understand without the 24 previous books.
Discovering Inner Failings- A self help book written to show you why you need another self help book.
Silicon Valley in 1979- How boring people can take a boring subject and craft it into the definitively useless coffee table book.
How To Clean Practically Anything- Whisk aways hours you could be spending with your kids or spouse agonizing over a stain that no one ever even noticed.
Anything by Charles Dickens- Why even your worst childhood memories are better that anything that ever happened to people in a Dickens novel.
The next one is coming in April. I'll try to contain myself...

That was awesome.
I am soooo glad I am not the only one.
I loved 'The Whispers of Tarnis.' It single-handedly led me into the fine art (some would call it alchemy) of cloning unicorns from mutant antelope/albino zebra hybrids.
Ando-
