What's the name of your putative book?
 
I saw this before but I'm not sure I understand Loren.
We're suppsed to make up a title for a ficticious book that somehow describes ourselves?
 
Crappy Tales about Crappy People.
 
You can't beat Spider Robinson on this one:

Crewel Lye

a Caustic Yarn
 
"The Mind of God"
 
The Global Warming Cooking Guide

Chap 1
How to wok your dog
 
"Why no one would vote for me for President"
 
Any catchy book title, Statutory, despite the contents...
