another book of the month
they figured out the word frequencies of best-selling books' titles, and then this guy worked out the formula and he's taking bets that in a year a book with this title couldn't help but end up on every 12-year old girl's shelf (even though it's actually about AIDS)

There's a whole cottage industry selling book titles these days. Here are some of the ones I've bought from them recently for my books:
Family Values for Everyone (for my retro-loving coffee-table collection of lesbian sado-masochistic porn images)
I Had Sex with Paris Hilton (for my analysis of the idea of das Man-selbst in Being and Time)
Support Our Troops (for my line-by-line study of kerning in the documents proving George Bush skipped out on the last year of his Texas Air National Guard duty to work in the campaign for a fascist politician down in Corpus Christi)
