Neatly Boring


[YouTube - Link]

A selection of book titles and covers so boring they're interesting.

I bet Alex has some of those in his library.


Like me. I'd honestly like to know more about a Bayesian approach to image interpretation, for instance. Oh, you laugh, but do you think voice recognition software is all bubblegum and pony rides?

the music helps the creep factor, and the way he pauses and... savors some words.

I can imagine this 'guy' being the entity that molested GLADoD and made her go crazy.

I had a different book from sage publishing with the same cover scheme. There was a typo on the title page that indicated it was about "casual analysis" instead of "causal".

I...I feel so wrong after watching that. O_O

The voice just lends an eerie and creepy sense of impending doom. It's like a mad computer left alone to read the books stored in a Library. I can just imagine a twisted Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode where the last human left hears the voice and thinks he/she isn't alone. Who then rushes in and finds to their horror the very robot that killed off everyone so that it can catalog all the books in peace and quiet talking to itself as it reads the names out loud. Brrrr!

That voice is much too serious that it's laughable. Can't stop laughing...Anyway, most of my books right now (I'm in college) are like this. I'm such a nerd.

That was hilarious!

I have only one book like this, and it's called "Comparative stylistics of French and English" by J.P. Vinay and J. Darbelnet. The cover is plain baby blue with dark blue letters.
