Best Book Titles

Welcome to winter everybody.Hope everyone has good tires on their vehicle and a hefty snow scrapper in your trunk. Keep safe!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I love a good book title. I judge a book by it's title more than it's cover, I think. I think a book is also deeper ingrained in my memory if it's got a funny title. Here are some that I have seen that I think are great:

Another Bullshit Night in Suck City- Nick Flynn
We have Always Lived in a Castle - Shirley Jackson
For Whom The Bell Tolls- Papa Hemingway
The Spy Who Came in From the Cold-John le Carre
The Sound and the Fury - William Faulkner
The Heart is a Lonely Hunter - Carson McCullers
A Canticle for Leibowitz - Walter M Miller Jr.
A Monster Calls - Patrick Ness
The Dark and Hollow Places - Carrie Ryan
In the Country of Last Things - Paul Auster
Tony Hogan Bought Me an Ice Cream Float Before He Stole Me Ma by Kerry Hudson

What are some of your favorites? Has anyone read any of these? I have read We Have Always Lived in a Castle and A Monster Calls...
