The
saying goes, “don’t judge a book by its cover.”
We all do anyway. If people didn’t
then writer’s wouldn’t pay big bucks to get covers made.
Not
only do we judge books by their cover, but we also judge them on their title.
In my opinion the novel with the best title of all time is Stephen King’s
Misery, first published in 1987
Not
only does the title tell you that the book is about Paul Sheldon’s state
through the entire novel, but Misery is also the name of his main character in
his novels. And Anne Wilkes’ pig. You know just from the title that this book
is about pain and anguish. (as a side
note the movie version is also one of the best adaptations of a novel and Kathy
Bates IS Anne Wilkes) ((it also has one
of the best openings))

These
sounds: even in the haze.
What
is your favorite book title?
