ITT: God-tier book titles

Fine for a short story. Would you pick up a 1000 pages long Failed Entertainment?

>reminds me of kafka

What, his titles are pretty epic

Steinbeck slayed the title game
>Of Mice and Men
>Grapes of Wrath
>East of Eden
>Cannery Row
>Tortilla Flat
>In Dubious Battle

>Of Mice and Men
>Grapes of Wrath

Brilliant

>East of Eden
Great

>Cannery Row
Good

>Tortilla Flat
Mccarthy tier

>In Dubious Battle
Awful

good point, definitely a short story name, which is probably why it reminds me of those writers lol.

infinite jest is grander.

kafka for best titles, hands down

example: "die verwandlung"

perfect. gets your attention immediately and has you thinking: who's this guy verwandlung? and why on earth does somebody want him DEAD?

O'Connor's
>Wise Blood
>Everything That Rises Must Converge
>The Violent Bear It Away

god damnit

The Recognitions was great because of the multiple meanings behind the word that he put into use over the course of the book.

Some off my favorites as they come to me

Everything and More
Slaughterhouse Five

Inherent Vice
Pale Fire
