ITT: God-tier book names

Maniac Magee

I probably would not have read it otherwise

The Sound and the Fury.

And also The Name of the Rose

Any of Chuck tingles work desu

>Bolryder
God-tier erotica writer's name right there

No Longer Human
Ice Never F
To the Lighthouse

The Sun Also Rises
Chronicle of a Death Foretold
100 Years of Solitude
Infinite Jest
Invisible Cities
Child of God
It

For your info, 'lord of the flies' is how Beelzebub is translated into English

...

In Search of Lost Time

Fyi, lord of the flies is how the jews slander the Lord of Harvests' name.

>It's the '90s Pacific Northwest refracted through a dark mirror, where meth and madness hash it out in the woods. . . . A band of hobo vampire junkies roam the blighted landscape—trashing supermarket breakrooms, praying to the altar of Poison Idea and GG Allin at basement rock shows, crashing senior center pancake breakfasts—locked in the thrall of Robitussin trips and their own wild dreams.

>A girl with drug-induced ESP and an eerie connection to Patty Reed (a young member of the Donner Party who credited her survival to her relationship with a hidden wooden doll), searches for her disappeared foster sister along "The Highway That Eats People," stalked by a conflation of Twin Peaks' "Bob" and the Green River Killer, known as Dactyl.

I agree

I remember finding this in a bookstore when I was like 9 and thinking it was hilarious. I'd beg my dad to take me to Barnes & Noble and he'd look through magazines while I found books like this or read through Calvin and Hobbes or something.

I miss my dad.

Storm of Steel
The Birth of Tragedy
Faust
Crime and Punishment
Fear and Trembling

this desu

Well, then you know its God Tier because it carried that book to classic status. If it was called Bitter Crones Allegorical Fiction it would have bombed.

...

these are fucking garbage.

Thus Spoke Zarathustra

My personal favorite title, and i havent even read the book.

Paradise Lost
The Grapes of Wrath
Atlas Shrugged
The Sound and The Fury

Gravity's Rainbow
The Grapes of Wrath
Infinite Jest
In Search of Lost Time
Atlas Shrugged

...

...

Dick's are always good.

the book I'm currently reading is called The Fire Inside. Pretty good desu.

Agreed.
I thought this one was even more unique, tho.

In it's original russian it's 'Mёpтвыe дýши', or 'Myórtvyjye dúshi'. Which I think sounds even better.

-Crime & Punishment
-Thus Spoke Zarathustra
-Either/Or
-The Horrible and Terrifying Deeds and Words of the Very Renowned Pantagruel King of the Dipsodes, Son of the Great Giant Gargantua
-The Iliad
-The Georgics
-Elective Affinities

Did you actually read Rabelais?

I've only read Pantagruel

Mrtve Duše mogu da mi puše

The Anatomy of Melancholy
The Art of War
The Origin of Species
A Confederacy of Dunces
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano
What can I say? I love genitives.
Putting them all together sure takes the magic out of these titles. 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra' wouldn't seem so mystical if every book had the same elements. A good title strives to be unique and intriguing.

The Problem with Being Born

Atlas Shrugged
Paradise Lost
The Sun Also Rises

Those are ones I wanted to read initially because of the title.

Speak, Memory, will never not be the greatest autobiography title ever. Also a big fan of In Search of Lost Time, and Journey to the End of the Night

nah

didn't think I'd agree with the things posted in this thread, but yeah.
nice
this this this this this. the sound and the fury is a great name.

>Gravity's Rainbow
Also this. This is probably my favorite name of a book next to the sound and the fury and lord of the flies.

Journey to the end of the night

Mort à crédit is even better.

Am I the only one to find Heart of Darkness, Journey to the end of the night and In search of lost time cheesy as fuck? Don't get me wrong, they are excellent, but the title makes it sound like an edgy fanfic made by some teenager (which is quite surprising considering that some books of ISoLT have excellent titles i.e. In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower or Swann's Way)
Am I just missing something or?

Bagatelles pour un massacre and D'un château l'autre are even better in my opinion

Hard Boiled Wonderland & The End of the World

Book of Coming Forth by Day
He Who Saw the Deep
Iliad
Seven Against Thebes
Critique of Pure Reason
Faust: The First Part of the Tragedy
Faust: The Second Part of the Tragedy

personal favourite

Read the genealogy of morals first. It will make TSZ easier to understand.

it's even better in Spanish. Putas is so much stronger than whores, although it could have been Perras, that would have been based.

No other title compares

war & peace

The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea is unmatched imo

Tender as the Night

it actually is, i got to write a paper on it in HS

How the Light Gets In
Gravity's Rainbow
The Sound and the Fury
The Sun Also Rises
Infinite Jest
Being and Nothingness
Fear and Trembling
Although of Course You End Up Becoming Yourself
The Things They Carried
Paradise Lost
Beyond Good and Evil
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

nice catch lmao

blood meridian
