^CV as title. Interesting.
I've always liked some of Douglas Adams titles: Life, the Universe and Everything Mostly Harmless The Long Dark Tea Time of the Soul The Salmon of Doubt Some titles that I'm thinking of looking at: Charles Yu's Third Class Superhero and How to Live Safely in a Science Fiction Universe |

Because It Is Bitter and Because It Is My Heart by Joyce Carol Oates, from one of my favorite poems by Stephen Crane:
In the desert I saw a creature, naked, bestial, Who, squatting upon the ground, Held his heart in his hands, And ate of it. I said, "Is it good, friend?" "It is bitter--bitter," he answered; "But I like it Because it is bitter, And because it is my heart." |

I guess I'm the only one who reads "titles" as a different word every time I read the thread name?

Darkness at Noon
Stranger in a Strange Land (I like the title more than I liked the book) |

It was one of my favorites in high school but I haven't read it in decades.
Another favorite title: Any Friend of Nicholas Nickleby is a Friend of Mine by Ray Bradbury. It was made into an American Playhouse production starring Fred Gwynne as "Dickens." |

I've read all of Heinlein, several times, over the years. I cut my teeth on him and Asimov almost as soon as I started reading. |

"If I'd Killed Him When I Met Him" is on my TBR pile just because of the title.
