I like these:

The Known World (great example of a title having multiple levels of significance)
Things Fall Apart
Naked Lunch
Of Mice and Men (this title sounds like someone's stroking his beard and philosophizing)
Blood Meridian
Mona Lisa Overdrive (anything with Mona Lisa in the title is badass in my book)
As I Lay Dying
The Bell Jar
Stranger in a Strange Land
Red Earth and Pouring Rain

I haven't read like half of those.

Hop to it.

I have this bad habit of buying books because I like the title. Just taking a glance at my bookshelf:
Tropic of Cancer
Tender is the Night
Trainspotting
The Painted Veil
A Prayer for Owen Meany

to name a few...
:iconcloudtographer:
The Half-Known World (was with writing books at the library so I checked it out but the first two words were "Like sex," and then it was a bunch of random essays).

Writing down the Bones (I just think it's kind of interesting, and wonder what it means).

An Abundance of Katherines (why not?)


And that's all I can come up with at the moment.

Somebody Knows My Name (The cover, in combination with the name, made me fall apart in tears.)
A History of Madness
The Ash Garden
King Leopold's Ghost
Images of Sound
The Meaning of Night
Wieland; and Memoirs of Carwin the Biloquist (If you know what biloquist means, this is a great title.)

Those are just the ones fresh in my mind,
since I bought them all just recently.
Sadly, I have all of those,
and I haven't read any.

Tender is the Night is another good title.
Someone said it already though.
