Oh I think the Closure is a must for the daughter.
Ohhhhhhhh...that can't be good.
Dammit! I'm heading for Amazon right now!
Much as I giggled at the others, it was "Cheese Problems Solved" that had me laughing out loud.
The oddest one on my bookshelves has to be "On Sled And Horseback To Outcast Siberian Lepers"; the true story of a mad Englishwoman in 1892, who fought off wolves and bandits to get a paltry cartload of supplies to some remote leper colony she'd heard about.
As a kid I loved those weird Victorian explorers' books so I have quite an odd collection.
I have several books about children being captured and raised by American Indians. For some reason, this fascinated me in high school....
Excellent!
This may appeal to you:
Island of the Sequined Love Nun, Christopher Moore.
