Super Long Book Titles

In the past, I have noted The Wackiest Titles of Books as well as Odd Book Titles.

Let's see what super long book titles I can find. 

The prize goes to nonfiction books. Apparently nonfiction authors can ramble.

A Beginner's Guide to Paradise: 9 Steps to Giving Up Everything So You Too Can: Move to a South Pacific Island, Wear a Loincloth, Read a Hundred Books, Diaper a Baby Monkey, Build a Bungalow, and Maybe, Just Maybe, Fall in Love

Don't Get Too Comfortable: The Indignities of Coach Class, The Torments of Low Thread Count, The Never-Ending Quest for Artisanal Olive Oil, and Other First World Problems

Why Do Men Have Nipples?: Hundreds of Questions You'd Only Ask a Doctor After Your Third Martini

A Working Stiff's Manifesto: A Memoir of Thirty Jobs I Quit, Nine That Fired Me, and Three I Can't Remember

Somewhere in America: Under the Radar With Chicken Warriors, Left-Wing Patriots, Angry Nudists, and Others

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: An Inquiry Into Values

We also see some authors of fiction who are not concise.

The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared

Three Men in a Boat: To Say Nothing of the Dog

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World

Especially old authors of fiction. Daniel Defoe was, apparently, one who loved long book titles.

The Life and Strange Surprizing Adventures of Robinson Crusoe, Of York, Mariner: Who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an un-inhabited Island on the Coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver’d by Pyrate by Daniel Defoe

The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders Who was born in Newgate, and during a life of continu’d Variety for Threescore Years, besides her Childhood, was Twelve Years a Whore, five times a Wife (whereof once to her brother) Twelve Years a Thief, Eight Years a Transported Felon in Virginia, at last grew Rich, liv’d Honest and died a Penitent by Daniel Defoe

Children's book authors seem to have forgotten how short that space is under TITLE on your book log.

Captain Underpants and the Invasion of the Incredibly Naughty Cafeteria Ladies from Outer Space and the Subsequent Assault of the Equally Evil Lunchroom Zombie Nerd

Hank the Cowdog: The Case of the One-Eyed Killer Stud Horse

My Mama Says There Aren't Any Zombies, Ghosts, Vampires, Creatures, Demons, Monsters, Fiends, Goblins, or Things

The Little Mouse, the Red Ripe Strawberry, and the Big Hungry Bear

This might be the longest book title I found:

A Reviving Cordial for a Sin-Sick Despairing Soul, in the Time of Temptation, Being an Account of the Miraculous Preservation of the Author's Bodily Life from Many Imminent Dangers; and Of the Way in Which the Spirit of God Effected (sic) the Deliverance of His Soul from the State of Nature to the State of Grace to Which is Subjoined, the Only Refuge of a Troubled Soul in the Time of Tribulation and Affliction; or the Mystery of the Apple-Tree, Explained and Laid Open, in Two Discourses from Cant. ii. 3. 

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
