5 Weird Books I Might Buy From Amazon

In This Article:

If you're like me, you often procrastinate by going on the Internet and shopping (or in my case, adding hundreds of items to your cart and then never actually buying them). This unfortunate addiction has led to me discovering some pretty wild products that people, primarily on Amazon, have decided to make a profit off of. To be more specific, I have come across a lot of books on Amazon that I sorely need to share with others. The list could go on and on, but here are five of those wacky books.

"Dancing with Jesus"

www.littlebrown.co.uk

The back of the book reads, “Are you cursed with two left feet? Are your dance moves unrighteous? Do you refrain from getting down lest others judge you cruelly? Fear not. Salvation is at hand. Singing hymns of praise is standard practice - now it's time to set your feet a-tapping with a collection of original dance moves inspired by Jesus and the likes of Moses and John the Baptist."

If that doesn't convince you to buy this book, I don't know what will. Add this gospel of funk to your cart here.

"How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety"

How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety

Google Books

As the mother of two cats, it hurts my heart every day to hear about the dangers my babies may be in. With this book, I hope that I would be able to help them learn about the precautions they have to take in order to be safe in this world. Here is where you can purchase this book.

"Crap Taxidermy"

Amazon

I've run into some weird taxidermy animals in my life (it's better if you don't ask). Bless the hearts of the people who did this to these poor animals, though. Most of these are absolutely ridiculous, but it's funny to look at, no matter what. For a laugh or cringe, you can purchase the book here.

"Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything"

Quackery: A Brief History of the Worst Ways to Cure Everything by Lydia Kang, Nate Pedersen - Books on Google Play

Google Play

From strychnine to ice-pick lobotomies, this book has all the weirdest and worst ways humans have thought to cure, well, everything. Needless to say, a lot of these “cures" are outlandish and, with today's discoveries and technology, we can't help but roll our eyes at what people used to think would work to cast their worries away. For those who want to point fingers at the people of the past, you can buy the book here.

"The Farting Animals Coloring Book"

Book Sense

This book is rather mild, but what I think is weird is that someone actually sat down and decided to illustrate and publish this book for the rest of us to see and potentially buy. But, this book is the perfect coloring book for long car rides, a relaxing day inside, or procrastinating on homework. To get your creative senses tingling, you can buy the coloring book here.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
