    Bizarre waste of money

    Found Tuesday night at the Crossroads Barnes & Noble in Bellevue, Washington:

    More Frugal Gambling, Jean Scott with Angela Sparks, Huntington Press, 2003.

    Apparently this is a bestselling book, or series of books. Am I bizarre in finding it bizarre?

    Bizarre book of the week

    Found Thursday in an outdoor bookstall on First Avenue in Seattle:

    Pillion, Numa Jay. Understanding Homosexuality Through Reincarnation: The Story of a Quest. www.1stbooks.com. Second edition, 2002.

    Marty said she thought it would be better if it were called Understanding Homosexuality Through Mime.

    A Google search for "Numa Jay Pillion" finds 73 hits, most for this book.
