The Tyranny of the Night, Sung in Blood : books by Glen Cook.
Instrumentalities of the Night a series by him.

Out of the Silent Planet
A World Lit Only by Fire, one I haven’t read yet, but someday.
Standing in the Rainbow by Fannie Flagg

I’ve always been impressed by Dick Francis’ way with a title. They’re usually one word or a very short phrase, but they have layers of meaning that relate not only to the main story, but usually to at least one of the side plots.

Pretty close to the Moody Blues 1967 album Days of Future Passed.

Speaking of which, I now recall that the band’s 1971 opus Every Good Boy Deserves Favour ‘derives from the popular mnemonic used by music students to remember the notes on the lines of the treble clef’.

There is also a 1977 play by Tom Stoppard of the same name.

DOLLY PARTON!!!

No, Mr. Connery, that’s TITLES… :smiley:

Let’s All Kill Constance, which I saw in the used bookstore today. I almost got it, but other shinies caught my eye.

Melaina and Persephaessa sound nice, although I’m not so sure about Kallipygos.

(I like the ominous of the upcoming There Will Be Blood, and No Country for Old Men is very evocative. The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension has to win it, though.)
