If I must choose a WTF book that is really WTF to blog about, this will be the one. It's basically a reference book on words that won't appear in exams. Yes, you heard that right. Words that WON'T appear in exams.
It's basically a book unusual words, some of which are dirty, and consisting of example sentences that may sound stupid and random, but also funny to some people. (At least to those who enjoy Japanese humour)
The book consists of three chapters. Chapter one are words that will definitely not appear in exams (well at least that's what the book says), chapter two are words that will most likely not appear in exams, and chapter three are words that are actually likely to appear in exams.
Although chapter 3 do consist of common words, the example sentences are as ridiculous as those in previous two chapters.
If you are actually interested in buying this book, it can be found in some of the online Japan book stores (They only ship to Japan addresses though). Alternatively, you can get it from yesasia.com. It ships worldwide and currently provides free shipping for orders over $25.
PS: It even comes with a CD!
