Let's make up good titles or discuss ones we think are exceptional.

I like those titles that make no apparent sense before reading the book (sometimes not even after). Like, for example:

>Lookout Cartridge
>The Crying of Lot 49
>Nightwood
>Milkbottle H
>Finnegans Wake
>Ô dingos, ô châteaux ! (J-P Manchette)

Can you find more examples?

"Restore Königsberg you fucking Ruskies"

These titles are interesting, definitely, for their ambiguity. But is there something greater about titles which seem so perfectly worded and emotive just on their own, in a vacuum?

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
The Sun Also Rises

A Streetcar Named Desire

The Fault in Our Stars

The Unbearable Lightness of Being

That title is something else. Don't even want to read it, because I know it will never live up to the beauty of its title

you're an idiot

I know you guys don't like Murakami, but his titles are always really nice.

My opinion, but I love the titles that make sense as you read through it. I like the feeling of epiphanies, and the reflection that it invokes you to do.
