It's "Me Talk Real Pretty One Day," but that just makes the name prettier. __________ AJGraeme "As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake." -Barack Obama "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried." - G.K. Chesterton |

Christopher Moore has some great titles:
Bloodsucking Fiends The Stupidest Angel: A Heartwarming Tale of Christmas Terror Island of the Sequined Love Nun The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove Fluke, or I Know Why The Winged Whale Sings The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal ******************************** The only really sane person in there is Igor, and possibly the turnip. And I'm not so sure about the turnip. ~~ Terry Pratchett |

Terry Pratchett and crime-caper novelist Carl Hiassen tie to win the "short but zappy" category, IMO:
Equal Rites (Pratchett) Soul Music (Pratchett) The Fifth Elephant (Pratchett) Sick Puppy (Hiassen) Native Tongue (Hiassen) Skinny Dip (Hiassen) - Cho _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You are a Confectioner. Who can take a sunrise and sprinkle it with dew? Actually, that's Bob The Enchanter, two doors down on the left. But you make delectable treats, which is no simple feat considering Oompa Loompas won't be invented for three centuries. Not only do you delight with your sweets, but you've paved the way for a new profession: dentistry! _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ the blog thing: From an Ayewards World ... |

All good books Zoneseek. The only one I've read that I didn't like was Fortress of Solitude. I think you'll really dig Lethem's style. And he's always got good titles.
Titles I like: Everybody Smokes in Hell (John Ridley, never read it, and can't say for sure why not with a title like that) Get Shorty (Elmore Leonard) American Tabloid (James Ellroy) Heaven's Prisoners (James Lee Burke) Hmmmm, I guess I like crime/noir titles a lot. Lemme try some from other genres... Lonesome Dove (Larry McMurtry) Cowboy Feng's Space Bar and Grill (Steven Brust...good title, so-so book) Fight Club (Chuck Palahniuk) Werewolves in Their Youth (Michael Chabon) The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (CS Lewis) ____________________________________________________________________ "Patriotism is defined as the last resort of a scoundrel.

Tim Powers, The Stress of Her Regard. Stressful indeed. Nice.

Oh, and I should mention:
The Last Hot Time and How Much For Just the Planet? by John M. Ford __________ AJGraeme "As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals. Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations. Those ideals still light the world, and we will not give them up for expedience's sake." -Barack Obama "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried." - G.K.

Isn't it great ? I still prefer the Thursday Next series, but I had great fun reading this one. By the way, the sequel was released 2 weeks ago. It's called "The fourth bear". Which reminds me that when I first saw the topic title, I immediatly wanted to post "The fifth elephant", but Chomiji bet me at it !  |

Picked up a book in England during one of my trips based solely on the title:
Dead Cat Bounce by Damien Owens I'm also a fan of Tony Hawk's books: Round Ireland with a Fridge Playing the Moldovans at Tennis One Hit Wonderland And lastly, Are You Dave Gorman? and Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure by Dave Gorman **** Es ist kein Platz für uns auf der Erde kein Platz unterm Himmelszelt kein Platz für uns in den Sternen und kein Platz am Ende der Welt **** |

At present I also prefer the Thursday Next series. But as this is based on one NCD book compared to the four Next books, I'll wait until I've read more NCD as they come out. "The Big Over Easy" was a good read. I liked that you could recognise that it was a sequel to the Next series being based on the Cavendish Heights story. Was slightly disappointed with the ending to "Something Rotten". |

I've just finished The Fourth Bear, I think it's even better than The Big Over Easy. Quite crazier. I'm becoming addicted to the Nursery Crime Division just like I already was to the Thursday Next series.
And to get back into the main topic, next opus of the Thursday Next series (out July 2007) will be called The War of the Words  |
