Favourite Book Titles

[nursenblack]

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.

Nothing beats John Grogan's Marley & Me.I love it and have read it a few times since aquiring a copy.I have never laughed or been so sad all in one book...

[Inver]

The Dangerous Sports Euthanasia Society ~ Christine Coleman....but when I want to tell someone about it I can never remember it....

[Stephanie2008]

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey springs to mind

[Rawr]

Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carroll

[Kylie]

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.

[Lexie]

The Secret Life of Bees.. I bought it just because of the title... and I will never regret it!

[Karsa Orlong]

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.

[I'mRose]

All families are psychotic by Douglas Coupland is one of my favorites and On beauty by Zadie Smith.

[corina]

It would have to be "Running with Scissors" by Augustin Burroghs

[Nicola Booth]

The Secret Life of Bees.. I bought it just because of the title... and I will never regret it!

 

Lexie, this is also the book I would choose. I loved it! The film is not too bad either but I much preferred the book.

Four Past Midnight- a quirky strange title for a book that simple screams READ ME.

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.

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.

[Kell]

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.

[Kidsmum]

Well as i said on my copy it's all lower case.

[jemimapd]

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]

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!.
