nursenblack Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I haven't thought about this book in years, but I've always loved the title Cotton In My Sack by Lois Lenski. Not only did I love the story when I was young, but I also loved changing the title with words that rhyme with sack. I think you all know where I'm going with this.

Kylie Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them by Al Franken. I know the 'Lying Liars' bit is grammatically incorrect, but I like it anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexie Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 The Secret Life of Bees.. I bought it just because of the title... and I will never regret it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karsa Orlong Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Similarly, Steven Erikson's Toll The Hounds caught my eye because of the title, and the doom-laden quality of both it and the cover. I went away and looked him up and became an addict as a result And Iain M Banks' Feersum Endjinn always makes me smile - it reminds me just how funny that book is.

Kidsmum Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) if nobody speaks of remarkable things by jon mcgregor.

Rawr Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 Quiche of Death! Speaking as a quiche lover i've got to read this. I like the title of Stardust be Neil Gaiman, it's as simple and charming as the story behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidsmum Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 If Nobody Speaks of Remarkable Things by John McGregor. I bought it because I loved the title & it's on my TBR pile along with many others . I wrote the title & author without capitals as that is how it is written on the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 It's just the font they used on one of the covers. In every listing I've ever seen (and on other covers - it's written with the capitals intact. See here for example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kidsmum Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Well as i said on my copy it's all lower case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jemimapd Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 One title that struck me long ago is The Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers. It expresses a probably very true sentiment for many people throughout history at some time or another and does this effectively with an elegantly simple adjective and noun.

aberystwythmatt Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Although I havent read the book yet - my favourite title is the latest Malcolm Pryce book " From Aberystwyth with love". I think the cover illustration along with the title makes me all romantic! and puts me in mind of a by gone age!. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
