Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep is mine also. Also: A Rose for Ecclesiastes, Left Hand of Darkness, The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World, all stick with me.

Sorry if I gave the wrong impression, I was comparing the title to the book. I thought the book was OK, it is just that I think the title is brilliant verging on genius. I use it to describe myself when I start a new project or find myself in odd or unusual places.

NP I do love the title -- one of the best known around and wonderful book. I'm just sad about you not liking it....it's okay...different strokes and all that...

For poeticism, how about:
"Ameri- can Heri- tage Dic- tionary" Now I know why I've always liked saying that title out loud. |

I think the two most striking titles of books I've read have been:
"I Been in Sorrow's Kitchen and Licked Out All the Pots" "The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things" |

I've never really thought about it before, but the first titles that come to mind are all classics:
The Hound of the Baskervilles The War of the Worlds Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea |

Reminds me of the episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry plays 'Chinese Whispers' with the children. Good thread, though. I suppose with my mind already following this train of thought, I might as well add Prick Up Your Ears, the biography of Joe Orton by John Lahr. |

The thread about running out of shelf space and various solutions jogged my memory about this title of Anthony Powell's: Books Do Furnish a Room.

I haven't read it, but I find this title intriguing:
