The oddest book, however, is "The Mushroom in Christian Art", whose thesis appears to be that Jesus was a personified mushroom.

I had assumed that Poo was the name of the author, but it turns out to be Thai for 'crab' - and therefore a useful cookbook. It does raise the question of why the publishers translated 'Cooking With' but not 'Poo'.

That's my reason for disliking the title - I can't shift the suspicion that the publishers were deliberately aiming for this prize (yes it does happen, with books that they know won't get any publicity any other way).

It's the "volume 2" that does it for me.

If I had voted for that one, it would have been because of the "Volume 2".
