10 Weirdest Books In Brookes Library
You definitely won’t find any of these books in the short loan section.
Procrastination reached a new low when The Tab took it upon itself to go in search of the weirdest books in the main library. It was a struggle to find the weird and wonderful, none of which we can imagine anyone ever wanting to read, but searching for random words like ‘gnomes’ and ‘potato’ helped narrow down the search:
1. Why Not Torture Terrorists?
2. Caring for Lesbian and Gay People: A Clinical Guide
3. Treating Lesbians and Bisexual Women
4. Potato Science and Technology
5. Molluscs: Caudofoveata, Solenogastres, Polyplacophora and Scaphopoda
6. Colon and Rectal Cancer
7. Castration and The Heavenly Kingdom: A Russian Folktale
Sadly, I could not physically locate 8, 9 and 10, but I will mention them for the sake of it because they were great.
8. Rum, Sodomy and the Lash
We both want and don’t want to know how these three things come together.
9. Are Women Human? And Other International Dialogues
What’s worse is this was written by a woman.
And finally…
10. Rock n’ Roll Jews
As opposed to the sober, boring ones. This title is so great on so many levels.
We think any of them would make great Christmas reading. Let us know if they’re as interesting as the titles suggest.
