Ever since I discovered the Kama Sutra right next to Lo, He Comes! in the religious section of the Isaquah library booksale, I've kept an eye out for books whose titles are better together than they are apart. Combine two (almost) innocent titles, and Lo! He Comes! A whole new misconception emerges!
This weekend is the Oly Timberland Library's big booksale, and though they weren't shelved together, Michelle and I did find the beautifully bound Our Favorite Guns, coffee table edition, and two much-worn copies of Procuring Organs for Transplant*, a set of volumes that surely would have started some interesting discussion if we'd bought them together for living room display.
To top it off, one lady was so amused by our reading romance novel titles outloud to each other** that she bought me one, on the theory that I'd get more joy out of the title than anyone else would actually reading that. Yes, thanks to a random samaritan of questionable virtue, I now own The Boss's Wife For A Week.
*I had to look it up when I got home, because I keep misremembering it as Procuring Organs for Fun and Profit.
**My winner: One Night with a Sweet Talking Man. Michelle countered with A Scottish Heiress and The Captive Bride
