Stray Shopping Carts
Winner of Odd Book Title
The book Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America has won the Bookseller/Diagram prize for the oddest book title. This book is a hilarious view of random smashed and abandoned shopping carts with profiles of the styles and damages from trains, plows and rain. You can check it out by going to www.strayshoppingcart.com . Other titles up for consideration were Tattooed Mountain Women and Spoon Boxes of Daghestan and How Green Were the Nazi's?. As a writer, I often struggle with the title of a novel I'm writing. Sometimes, when I'm browsing the local bookstore, I'll be sucked in by a title. That's how I discovered the fantastical Christopher Moore. I grabbed The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove and have been hooked on him ever since. My next book to read is his newest release You Suck which is the follow up to the outstanding Bloodsucking Fiends.
