Doors, for some reason I'm pulling a "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" Deal. I'd pick it up.

Some weird alternate reality thing that exist exactly here. Probably some portal opened by wishing to be in some other here or something. Weird. Sounds like something that would look good on a book cover, and it would definitely catch my eye.

I can't say why precisely, but I like it -- you'd have to say it charms me. It's a sort of connotation, and the lighter tone of 'coppery' rather than 'copper'. ^_^

Caligula's Launderette wrote:*sings 99 Red Balloons at the top of her lungs*

99 Luftballons / Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont...

Something to do with war, perhaps.

Doors

(I totally love that song. The only good thing the '80s produced :P )

Anyhoo. Makes me think of this one movie I saw. "Shaolin Streets" or something like that. So: a dude with golden hair and a goatee.

Doesn't...make much sense to me. even if Lot was a name. I certainly wouldn't pick it up. It just makes no sense.

The colon in there for some reason pushes me away from it, it reminds me of titles like "Anxiety: the Horror of Adulthood or the Cause of Childhood Suicide?" (which is completely stupid, since I made it up just now). Try simply "Let It Take Me," that's much more intriguing, even though it doesn't express the point of your book quite as well.
If you use "Let It Take Me," you could put a poem maybe right behind the title page, explaining the book a little better.
But that piques my interest, and gives me an image of a girl sobbing in the rain at night, looking up to heaven and asking God to please, please, please make it stop.

[You seemed to hit it right on :-D I'll perhaps use your suggestion?]

Makes me think of either A) someone randomly becoming famous. or B) those Hollywood star stalkers that go nuts and end up killing the star they "loved" XD I'd read the inside cover, unless it looked like chic-fic

It's a story completely made up of the stories from five different AA participants, their challenges and progress, their life stories, their reasons for drinking, their reasons for being in AA (besides drinking, as in why they decided to or were made to go). Somewhere along the lines of their pasts their lives have crossed, but they never knew it before this book.

A woman (African) who died, unknown, uncelebrated. The main character makes a discovery that involves her, and travels to Africa to uncover the past behind this mysterious woman.

Which also might possibly be stolen from a song...

One of those young adult, 'real' fiction, sort of things? I'm afraid it wouldn't interest me in the least. Not on title - but with intriguing cover art, perhaps I'd pick it up.

Scurl. I like that word, though it's not in my computer dictionary. Sounds fantasy. I'd pick it up.

It makes me think of a children's pop-up book. ^_^'' But if it weren't, I think I'd assume it were some sort of magical realism, or coming-of-age tale; being incongruous, I might pick it up.

I do not speak French, but it reminds me of Sesame Street, somehow :P I'd avoid.

Brings to mind an author my younger sister loves: Vivian Vande Velde. (American young adult writer, I think?) With that in mind: A short story, or short story collection with a good sense of humour, but a darker side and quite a bit of magic/supernatural. I would glance at it. ^_^

Somehow sounds Middle Eastern to me. Historical Fiction style. I'd read it, if the blurb were interesting enough. :)
