Ypsilanti police are looking for a naked man who first exposed himself in the Ypsilanti District Library. The librarian had assisted the man in locating a book and then turned around to find him naked — he then fled with the book. The problem with the police report is that it fails to mention the book title. Perhaps we can help. As forewarning to future librarians, what books is a naked man most likely to check out from a library?
He clearly has already read The Emperor’s New Clothes but failed to read it to the end.
Here are my top five nominations:
1. Naked by David Sedaris
2. Getting Naked Again by Judith Sills
3. The Bare Naked Book (Children’s section)
4. The Book of Skin by Steven Connor
5. Unnatural Exposure by Patricia Cornell

“America’s Dumbest Doctors”
Uproarious laughter helps keep you warm.
Naked In Death by J. D. Robb for all the crime thriller fans here. You could read any of the books listed while listening to one of my favorite song writers Randy Newman:

I was thinking of checking out that Raul Julia classic film, “Moon over Pair-a-drawers.”

Professor Turley,
The nuns were always warning us girls about “dangling participles” in parochial school. Now–at my advanced age–I’m not so sure they were talking about grammar!
A book is one thing, but how about an author?;
You really should read the story of the Emperor’s New Clothes all the way to the end. But more importantly, read the epilogue.
