I was talking yesterday about titles I like and don't like. Here are some from this year:
Titles that don't tell me anything:
Men at Arms - by Pratchett (other than that it's a Guards book)
Indiscretion - Morgan
Titles that remind me what the book was:
Going Postal - Pratchett
The New Yorkers - Schine
Maus - Spiegelman
Titles that sound nice, but I don't know what they meant
Hunting Unicorns - Pollen
Starfish - Watts
Title that are descriptive of what I just read, and the title is meaningful, layered:
Habibi - Thompson
Rules of Civility - Towles
The English Patient - Ondaatje
Monstrous Regiment - Pratchett
Hmm.
ReplyDeleteTitles that remind me what it's about and are layered:
The Beekeeper's Apprentice - Laurie R. King
Folly - King
Spindle's End - McKinley
Changeling Sea - McKillip
Talking to Dragons - Wrede
I wasn't crazy about the couple Laurie Kings I read, but agree re her titles.
