None of those are generic. I'm talking about the titles which are already titles of ten or twenty or more other books in print. To take the most generic of the ones you've mentioned: if you say, "I've just read Dune", pretty much everyone knows which book you read. If you say, "I've just read Shattered", no-one's any the wiser.
