The Diagram Prize
You've heard of the Booker and the Nebula. How about the Diagram.

The best (and most innane and hilarious) book titles originate predominantly from Indie writers - in my opinion.

This indicates to me that Indie writers cherish the absurd in the human condition.

“How to Write the First 3 Paragraphs of YOUR Indie Novel” - by Max Waxwelp
1) Always write 3 sentences of exposition; 2) now create some dialogue, preferably no more than 2 sentences; and 3) make certain the dialogue is either inane or humorous. Example:
“Bob, I did not know you wore yellow suspenders,” Sally remarked.
“Gee, Sally, those are not suspenders. I am wearing yellow underwear today,” Bob revealed.
The dialogue above will help produce at least 100 more pages of dialogue.

Or are the absurd in the human condition.

How did I survive this long without having read this magnificent tome?
