Though you can't judge a book by its cover; what are some of your favorite book titles?
My favorite is "The God of Small Things" by Arundhati Roy. |

Prospero's Children-it wasn't an excellent book, but the title caught my attention
Bag of Bones by Stephen King-He usually has pretty good titles, and I think this one of them |

Wow, I could go on for days with this thread, but I'll stick to the few that I came up with immediately.
Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World - Haruki Murakami Sputnik Sweetheart - Murakami The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle - Murakami The Crazed - Ha Jin Gravity's Rainbow - Thomas Pynchon Still Life with Woodpecker - Tom Robbins If on a winter's night a traveler - Italo Calvino I love all these books. And as I think throughout the day, I'm sure I will add more. |

The Saunders and Carver titles are great. I read Pastoralia not too long ago. He has a new one that I have not read, but has a great title, The Brief and Frightening Reign of Phil. I frequently revisit Carver. |

You could never be a politician sin. You keep your promises.

I wouldn't dream of it. I'm interested in law...although lawyers don't really make promises...but! that wasn't technically a promise. In law that would be known as voce in animo volvens, "wondering out loud". So all I did was fulfill my musing, not a promise. How's that for a legal explanation?
