Not quite playing the game here, but they do make me smile: A few of my favorite titles that I've encountered over the years.

Extra Cheese, Please: Mozzarella's Journey from Cow to Pizza - best subtitle ever

Wake Up, I'm Fat - worst book title EVER

Nameless Diseases - most anxiety-inducing title ever
