In imitation of the UK's Diagram Prize for oddest book title the Germans have started their own Ungewöhnlichster Buchtitel des Jahres-competition -- with the prize just handed out, for Das Mädchen mit dem Rohr im Ohr und der Junge mit dem Löffel im Hals (get your copy at Amazon.de).
As the ten-title shortlist suggests, the Germans don't really seem to get the oddity-idea that well -- most of these are just ... long. Though Das erotische Potential meines Kleingärtnervereins ('The erotic potential of my garden club') isn't half bad. (I suppose How to Tell If Your Cat is Plotting to Kill You (a translation from the English) -- the runner-up -- is okay, too.)
