I've got a little widget over in my journal sidebar that shows some random book titles from my LibraryThing catalog. It just popped up this random set which I found to be an entertaining mix (in particular the first and second books in combination):

• Hello Kitty, Hello World! by Higashi/Glaser Design Inc.
• Coming to Power: Writings and Graphics on Lesbian S/M by Samois
• Practical Unix and Internet Security, 2nd Edition by Simson Garfinkel
• Midaq Alley; The Thief and the Dogs; Miramar by Naguib Mahfouz
• When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times by Pema Chodron
• Hello to All That: A Memoir of War, Zoloft, and Peace by John Falk
• Exit Music by Ian Rankin

Actually, this summer I had a student write a paper on pretty much that: how Hello Kitty (and, you know, Sanrio in general) came to power.
