Perhaps my favorite award in the world is the Bookseller/Diagram Prize, given annually to the book with the oddest title. Past winners include the magisterial Greek Rural Postmen and Their Cancellation Numbers, the groundbreaking Proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Nude Mice, and the perplexing Oral Sadism and the Vegetarian Personality.

This year, the frontrunner appears to be How Green Were the Nazis?, though The Stray Shopping Carts of Eastern North America is a dark horse candidate. The winner will be announced on April 13th, just before the beginning of the annual London Book Fair; anyone can vote on The Bookseller's home page.

(The Guardian reports on the current prize and its history. The Book Standard article on last year's winner also has a list of all winning titles since 1978. The Bookseller lists this year's nominees.)
