B.F. Skinner: Beyond Freedom and Dignity. This isn't my joke, I got it from the philosopher Sidney Morgenbesser

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidney_Morgenbesser

who is mostly famous for the following anecdote:

During a lecture the Oxford linguistic philosopher J. L. Austin made the claim that although a double negative in English implies a positive meaning, there is no language in which a double positive implies a negative. To which Morgenbesser responded in a dismissive tone, "Yeah, right."

Peig Sayers.

Albert Camus: The Outsider.

[failedbetterbooktitles]

Michel Houellebecq: The Elementary Particles. This is the American title, the English title was Atomised. The English edition had a more iconic cover too, however, the Better Book Titles dude is American, so I went with this.

Thomas Hardy: Jude the Obscure.
