Jimmy Fallon's List of Books You Should Not Read

Posted on January 18, 2013

Jimmy Fallon reveals his latest list of book you should read. The books that made Jimmy's list include the romance Ruthlessly Bedded by the Italian Billionaire by Emma Darcy (he dinged it because the title gave away the ending), The Art & Science of Cooking with Cannabis by Adam Gottlieb (this made the list because of the terrible cover which shows boiled potatoes and brownies and the lack of actual recipes), Footwear: Shoes and Socks You Can Make Yourself (the examples in the book were pretty bizarre), and The Teed-Off Ghost (a Hawaiian Golf Mystery) by Lee Tyler (Jimmy just couldn't get past the concept of ghost golfing, although the Midwest Review and PW seemed mildly fond of it). Also on the list are Puppets Go to Church by Wilma Powers Perry and Earl Perry (a truly frightening cover) and the military strategy book, the unfortunately named Warfare in the Enemy's Rear by Otto Heilbrunn.
