A selection of book titles and covers so boring they’re interesting.
I bet Alex has some of those in his library.

OH. MY. GOD. The voice is absolutely PERFECT. I can’t stop laughing! It reminds me of one of those sleep-inducing sound machines!
Greyseeker
Wow. I have read large parts of many of these after 12 years at university.

you know the crazy part is that somebody, somewhere, gets really excited talking about these topics.

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?

“I bet Alex has some of those in his library.”
Heck, I bet he wrote some of them!
(didn’t watch the movie, I’m bored enough as it is)

That voice creeps me out, not puts me to sleep. That being said – I am sadly familair with a number of these concepts within these books.
just a guy
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.

Some of them seem really interesting to me. Oh no, do I am THAT nerd?

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”.

Oh, wow. It’s like Roman Polanski and Dario Argento got together to prove that even boring book titles could be creepy and off-putting.

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.
