I said I might be working on a book. But what to title it? The mind fairly races with options. Here are a few:<\/p>\n

Life’s Little (Unlikely) Instruction Book<\/strong> (already suggested)<\/p>\n

Meaningless, Meaningless<\/strong> (already used)<\/p>\n

Vanity, Vanity<\/strong> (variation on “already used”)<\/p>\n

Life’s Little Inscrutable<\/em> Instruction Book<\/strong>
\n(more telling of the contents)<\/p>\n

Life’s BIG<\/span> Inscrutable<\/em> Instruction Book<\/strong>

Life for Dummies <\/strong>(these always sell)<\/p>\n

Life for Geninuses<\/del>, Genusiness<\/del>, Smart People<\/strong><\/p>\n

Will This be on the Test? <\/strong>(college student edition)<\/p>\n

Life\u2013In Which the Author takes on Various Conundrums and Ironies and Makes Observations and Declarations Starting with it (Life) Being Only Futile with Everything Having been Done Before, and Sometimes with the Bad Guys “Winning”–but Ending with the Proposition that There is a Judgement Indeed and that Things are Not so Meaningless After All<\/span> and the Youth Should Take Warning \u00a0<\/strong>(Maybe too long)<\/p>\n

I Declare<\/strong> (shorter, simpler)<\/p>\n

Well, I\u00a0Declare<\/strong>\u00a0(more colloquial)<\/p>\n

Well, Well<\/strong> (more accepting)<\/p>\n

Well, Well, Well<\/strong> (too deep)<\/p>\n

Life: How To<\/strong> (“How To” books are always in vogue)<\/p>\n

Life: How Not To<\/strong> (could be a\u00a0sequel)<\/p>\n
