Dearest Better Book Titlers, We’re nearing the release of How Not to Read (September 4th) and I want to see what others come up with as a better book title for the Better Book Titles book. All you have to do is write an e-mail to betterbooktitlebook@gmail.com with a new funny title and I’ll announce the winner next Friday (8/24) and post my favorite ones here. The people who submit the best re-titles will receive a FREE ADVANCE COPY of How Not to Read! The book includes my favorite covers, tips on avoiding terrible books and the terrible people who read them, and summing up whole genres of literature in a single sentence. Examples of my favorite re-titles include: Abridged Too Far, The Secret (but with More Jokes about Drugs and Poop), and Daniel Deronda with Fewer Jews. Happy writing! Dan
