Title, Part 24
This month the top slot goes to a book with the oddly appealing title God Explained in a Taxi Ride (has anyone read it?). The runner-up is not quite so concise, but it also has an odd appeal to the eye and ear, at least for me: Getting Naked Again--Dating, Romance, Sex & Love When You've Been Divorced, Widowed, Dumped or Distracted. You can review earlier OFBTs here. As always, feel free to comment on these, share your own favorites, tell us we're half-baked nitwits or ignore us completely. After all, you're in control, people. We're just the hired help around here.

I read this as a sort of unfinished sentence ... "God explained, in a taxi ride, that he could not grant your request for a winning lottery ticket."
John, you should start a list on Good Reads of all your favorite book titles.
Good Reads? What's that, BW?
Good Reads (www.goodreads.com) is a book community where avid readers can rate or write reviews of books, keep a book life list, lend books to friends, find books that are like those they already enjoyed, visit the bio pages of living authors and generally be bookwormy and digital at the same time.
I like that phrase about being bookwormy and digital. Can I assume from this that you take part in this, BW? Anyone else using it? This is the first I've heard of it, though perhaps that's because there are so many similar sites. But I'm always looking for the best in class, and this sounds like it could be.
Beautiful piece of work. Go ahead. Thanks.
