A person (one after my own heart) is going around giving funny subtitles to books, and the results are making me actually want to read these old tomes. An Instagram account named Snide Octopus is out there doing the Lord’s work by making old titles sound slightly more enticing with hilariously weird subtitles.
We’re all about retitling here. Authors are notoriously bad at it.
Usually, the rule of thumb is “less is more” but in this instance more is more. Sometimes, a book needs that extra little nudge for a reader to show interest.
Enjoy these hilarious fake subtitles added to old books:
