Best book title?

Just curious but have you guys ever heard a book title that's just really good and you consider the best? What is it and why do you think it's the best?

I mean, giving a book a title is really hard and giving them an amazing name is even harder IMO. You guys can judge it however you like, maybe by how appropriate it is or just how poetic it is, it doesn't matter, just, what is the best book title in your opinion?

Mine has to be, so far, "A lover's discourse: fragments" by Roland Barthes. I've actually never read it before and I don't even know what it is about but that title is just so, I dunno, apt and so poetic.


P.S.

Sorry for the horrible grammar 😞

"Atlas Shrugged" by Ayn Rand

How ****ing morbid and badass is that?! It's amazing that just two words can evoke such strong connotations of choas and feelings of fear.

Well it is the novel's metaphor, at least from a financial and existential stance. But yeah, it's best if he doesn't haha

I realised too late unfortunately, I was about 15 when I first read it and was looking for a "true" dystopian novel rather than a political one. It's still good though, just not what I was expecting aha

Ahh I see what you mean. Although tbh I find that many dystopian novels are very often intertwined with a political message: 1984, Brave New World, etc. etc.
