Na následujících řádcích vám naservírujeme několik názvů knih, které lámou rekordy. Po jejich zhlédnutí možná přestanete nadávat na infantilní tituly, kterými se knihkupectví jen hemží. Budete za ně rádi. Kdybyste totiž měli před každou knihou přečíst několik desítek slov, dokud byste se nedostali ke konci názvu knihy, chuť na čtení jejího obsahu by vás jistě přešla. Můžeme být rádi, že aspoň u nás mají literáti rozum a takovými výmysly nás netrápí.
A já už nebudu nadávat na hororový román Stephena Kinga IT.
