What should win the 2019 Diagram Prize for Oddest Book Title of the Year?

Nov 08 2019

Voting for the annual Diagram Prize is now open. The tongue in cheek prize goes to “the oddest title of the year, not necessarily the funniest, particularly not one that is intentionally funny.”

This year's contenders are:

  • The Dirt Hole and its Variations
  • Ending the War on Artisan Cheese
  • Hitler's Monsters: A Supernatural History of the Third Reich
  • How to Drink Without Drinking
  • Noah Gets Naked: Bible Stories They Didn't Teach You at Sunday School
  • Viking Encounters: Proceedings of the 18th Viking Congress
