The Rumpus publishes original fiction, poetry, literary humor writing, comics, essays, book reviews, and interviews with authors and artists of all kinds. Our mostly volunteer-run magazine strives to be a platform for risk-taking voices and writing that might not find a home elsewhere. We lift up new voices alongside those of more established writers our readers may already know and love. We want to bring new perspectives into the conversation that will make us all look deeper.

It’s the paper box furniture one, no doubt. The other one is a controversy!
I also vote for Paper Box.
Paper Box Furniture, definitely. “The Baking Soda Controversy” is likely the most compelling title possible for Baking Soda.
The controversy one implies at least SOME excitement; Paper Box Furniture is just appalling!
i vote for paper box furniture as well. if that’s worth a book title, it makes me wonder what mother is like the rest of the time–scary!
The Baking Soda Controversy. When does mother forbid them to make paper box furniture?
“The Baking Soda Controversy” is “In Two Volumes”. Hmmm.
Sorry…the most boring book in the world, hands down is “The Value of Pi to 750,000 decimal places,” by two French mathematicians.
the pi one, i would read the other one, the other one is a story the other tells you of something happining. pi nothing ever changes. pi has been the same my hole life, and i know end it’s a # wiptty freakin do! my god!!!
Apparently the writers of the pi book are open to a sequel. It was a pretty good cliff hanger so…
We now have Pi to a million decimal places in a book entitled ‘Pi’ – surely the only book that could possibly be more boring is Pi to 2 trillion plus places that some computer did recently. Imagine reading it!
