I love spending time in used book stores. You encounter so many strange and wonderful books that time seems to have forgotten. And those books are about to get a whole lot stranger thanks to a Twitter page called “Paperback Paradise.”
The fine folks behind this page reimagine old books and give them new titles and descriptions that are downright hilarious. I actually want to read some of these fake books!
Enjoy these pics! We know we did!
1. I’m not sure I want to be your friend.

3. You’re about to learn a life lesson the hard way.
You’ve been warned about this your whole life!

4. This one sure is confusing.
I might just wait for the big-screen adaptation.

6. Don’t you even think about doing that!
Also, read the fine print. Do not laugh at Jesus’s toe.

7. A book about swords.
Not a whole lot of mystery and intrigue with this one.
