Just about all the Xanth titles (not so wild about all the groaners inside. 1 per page is pushing my limit. Anthony peaks at 4+ )

Books I'm not so sure about book titles but I love the title of the painting Night people following the phosphorescent trail of snails.

Brautigan's titles always stand out for me - 'In Watermelon Sugar' might be my favourite as it's so evocative. 'Willard and his Bowling Trophies', 'Revenge of the Lawn', 'A Confederate General From Big Sur'.
And 'For Esmee With Love And Squalor'. I love that one enough to have borrowed it myself. I'd list some Pulp titles, too, by without their covers they seem to lack the impact somehow. |

titles I've liked:
The Tar-Aym Krang (might have the spelling wrong) In fact I bought this some years ago just because of the title. and True Names and Other Dangers Threats...and Other Promises Buddy Holly Is Alive and Well on Ganymede Pies and Prejudice and liked lots of the titles of Robert Rankine novels (though I haven't read so many of them) The Sprouts of Wrath Sex and Drugs and Sausage Rolls Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse etc. etc. |

images, imagination. . .
I've long been entranced by the titles of various sci-fi books:
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress The Boat of a Million Years The Stars Like Dust To Sail Beyond the Sunset . . . alot of them are either quotes or plays on quotes from classic literature. Phrases that open up the imagination. . . Or from not so classic lit: Have Spacesuit, Will Travel !!!! Or just plain original phrases that are very evocative: At the Mountains of Madness The Fungi from Yuggoth Beyond the Wall of Sleep I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream Islands to Windward Green Mansions We're talking titles --apart from content, right? What stays with me are the feelings and images the title evokes before I even read page one. . . |
