Some great titles here. (The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is my fave.)
I have one to add: The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things |

Philip Dick had some great titles as others have said - I like "we can remember it for you wholesale" (which was the inspiration for Total Recall)
I also like "The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind" by Julian Jaynes - a nice snappy title! One book that I bought for the title was "The Audacity of Hype" - unfortunately the title is the best bit. |

I recently lauhed my way through "we're Just Like You, Only Prettier: True Confessions of a Tarnished Southern Bellr."
And in real life, I have eaten fried green tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, in Birmingham. |

Well I've never eaten them in Birmingham, but many many times in the past.
