I've always liked that title,too, tho haven't read the book (have read short stories by Achebe, but never that book).
The title Things Fall Apart comes into mind frequently for me, cuz it often feels apt in describing my life!

Julian Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.
Not only is this a fabulously esoteric sounding title (nb that it wouldn't even fit in the subject line!), it's also an incredible book. I have yet to read up on its reception, but his theories are fascinating.

My favorite book title is The Man With No Endorphins by James Gorman. I am the woman with no endorphins, so that's why that title appealed to me.

Sort of makes the book store owner paranoid.
Another good one: "Ignore this Post," by Kazoo.

A confederacy of dunces is one of my all time favorites. Ever since I read it about 20 years ago I've longed to write letters which start out something like "dear mongoloid idiot" and I frequently drift back to the image of Miss Trixie padding around the work place in her pajamas.
What a shame he only wrote one.

I can't remember the author's name but I know he commited suicide.
He was very talented, judging by the book.
