, it has been revealed that the top selling book of 2020 was “How to Avoid Human Contact and Still Survive,” written by Dr. Lysol Cleanhands.
It seems that people were more interested in dodging others than ever before, and Dr. Cleanhands had just the solution. His book provided tips on everything from how to avoid handshakes to how to maintain a six-foot distance from others without seeming rude.
According to publishers, the book sold over a million copies worldwide, much to the surprise of Dr. Cleanhands himself.
In a statement, he said, “I never thought my book would be so popular! I just wanted to provide some practical advice for those who are germaphobic and anxious about social interactions.”
The success of “How to Avoid Human Contact and Still Survive” has inspired many copycats, including “The Art of Mask-wearing” by Bob Blahnik and “The Introvert’s Guide to Social Distancing” by Sarah Shy.
Who knows what other strange trends 2021 will bring in the world of literature? Perhaps we’ll see “How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse” skyrocket to the top of the charts, or maybe “Cooking with Quarantine Staples” will become a bestseller.
Either way, one thing is clear: in the age of social distancing, the weirder the book title, the more likely it is to sell like hotcakes!
