Call Yourself A Bookworm, We bet You’ve Never Read These Penguin Books

Check out these funny, fictitious titles mocked up in classic Penguin style.

World-famous publishing house Penguin has been nurturing big-name literary talent since 1935.

When you think of Penguin Classics acclaimed writers Virginia Woolf, Truman Capote and Charles Dickens immediately come to mind.

Now a more dubious roll call of names have been added to that list, thanks to the imaginative skill and let’s be honest procrastinating talents of Simon, the clever clogs behind the idea.

He has created an inspired compilation of imaginary Penguin titles and mocked them up into classic volumes that will (sadly) never see the light of day.

Including our personal favourite, Kardashian Konfidential by Kim Kardashian, that we can only imagine would have spilled the beans on her sham marriage and soulless union with Kanye West.

 

So are you a fan of the alternative Penguin classic series? Can you think of any distinctly Irish titles that deserve the honour of being turned into a Penguin Classic?
