The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers and Tomorrow, When the War Began by John Marsden.

 

Also, it has such a simple title but it sums up the book so perfectly: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen.

If You Want Closure in Your Relationship, Start With Your Legs - I can't remember the author's name, but it was the winner of the funniest book title of the year award in 2008 - I always remember it as it's really quite apt, as well as funny !

I love many of the titles already mentioned, and also The Toyminator, the sequel to The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies Of The Apocalypse.

 

Another I love is The Line Of Beauty. I don't know why, I just do, and I love the cover of the book too,which is a gate with a neat yard beyond, the gate intricate, up close and in focus, and the garden out of focus.

 

Also, The Gates (of Hell are about to open, mind the gap).

I freaking love The Masque of the Red Death by Poe, it's such a beautiful, apt title and a provocative precursor for the the tale which stalks in after.

Rawr, you just made me think of The Cask of Amontillado by Poe which is one of my favorites. I love that word 'Amontillado'. Its one of those that just gets stuck in my head and I just keep saying it over and over to feel its lyrical quality.

No, that's the other way :smile2:

 

I also love Secret Window, Secret Garden by King, it has a touch of the mysterious and promises uncertainty.

 

Orwell's Animal Farm is pretty interesting too.

''I'm getting the word... nonce!'' Phoenix Nights is hilarious :smile2:

 

Get this thread back on track!

 

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon is certainly an interesting title.

Isn't Amarillo off topic :smile2:

 

Robert Rankin has many brilliant book titles I agree!

 

Some titles I love:

 

The Secret Life Of Trees

 

Dark Banquet :Blood and the Curious Lives of Blood-Feeding Creatures

 

At The Mountains of Madness

 

Tales Of Ordinary Madness

 

Salmonella Men On Planet Porno

 

The Good Angel of Death

 

Seeking Whom He May Devour

 

The Premature Burial by Poe makes most people shudder in horror at the thought.

True, true.

 

:lol: The book is by Yasutaka Tsutsui if anyone is interested, I am yet to read it, he wrote a book called Paprika too which is made into an anime film I think.

 

There are some other titles I like but I won't post incase they offend some people - some titles by Carlton Mellick III is all I will say.
