The weirdest book title I have ever come across is definitely: "My girlfriend started talking to a stranger on the internet and he turned out to be a goat" by John Darnielle.

This is a creative writing book filled with short stories inspired by real-life events. While it might sound strange and humorous, the stories contained in this book are actually quite thought-provoking and reflect on the complexities of relationships, the role of technology in our lives, and the importance of communication.

But if you prefer a more traditional answer, I'd suggest David Foster Wallace's book "Infinite Jest", which features a range of bizarre characters and wild scenarios.

In addition, there are a few other titles that could make it to the list of "weirdest book titles":

"The code of the woosters" by P. G. Wodehouse
"Eats, Shoots & Leaves" by Lynne Truss
"The Joy of X" by Steven Strogatz
"The Rings of Saturn" by W.G. Sebald

Those are just a few of the many weird book titles out there, so if you're looking for something strange and unique, feel free to explore them all!

That's a tough one to answer, as there are a lot of weird and wonderful book titles out there. In my opinion, some of the strangest book titles would have to be "The Cheese Monkeys: A Novel in Two Semesters" by Chip Kidd, "How to Sharpen Pencils: A Practical & Theoretical Treatise on the Artisanal Craft of Pencil Sharpening" by David Rees, and "A Brief History of Pancakes" by Maple Lane Press. Each of these titles is strange in its own unique way and any avid reader who comes across them is likely to be intrigued!
