Of course I immediately think of your story but otherwise I think of something familiar, although I can't place it. Like I'm reminded of a song that maybe had the title, "The blank are blanking" but I can't remember what either blank is. Which... really has nothing to do with the novel, but it is what comes to my mind.
One, Breathe, Two, Breathe
“It's necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.” ― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
It doesn't sound much like a title, a little long for that. But I would pick it up because it interests me. It almost reminds me of something like Don't Panic. Almost.
Broken
But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett
Sounds like a terribly depressing autobiography of child abuse. It'll have a close up of a small girl's face on the cover, and some additional text about A trust betrayed... one child's struggle to survive...
I wouldn't even bother picking it up, sorry. Here's hoping it isn't like that.
The Turquoise Scarab.
"TV makes sense. It has logic, structure, rules, and likeable leading men. In life, we have this. We have you." -Abed Nadir
Both sound like adventure/mystery books to me. The Scarab one sounds more like a mystery. I'm not really into mystery, but I would probably at least pick them up.
It sounds like a cute kind of story... Fortune cookies make me think of ice cream cones and the silly slips of paper you get in them. I don't know what it would be about but I think I'd pick it up, and look it over.
Black Water: a Memoir
“It's necessary to have wished for death in order to know how good it is to live.” ― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
Hmm, might I have heard mumblings for this memior before? "Black Water" makes me think of a horror story from camp, set on a dock, in the middle of the night, under a full moon. And "a Memior" either contradicts all that, or makes it all the more frightening.
Something actiony, it reminds me of spys, or mission impossible....I probably wouldn't look at it twice. The capitals freak me out...
(And Shadowtwit, don't worry, Broken has nothing to do with child abuse...I'm trying to find the right title for something else...)
Silver
But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett
It depends...sort of nondescript? Silver's a good word, though, so it's not like the title were just "cake" or something less-than-mysterious. I'd probably pick it up.
Seconds Until Impact
Graffiti is the most passionate form of literature there is.
It sounds like some sort of thriller...I would pick it up though, so it depends on what it's about. The title caught my intrest though. =D
We are the Flame
But that is not the question. Why we are here, that is the question. And we are blessed in this, that we happen to know the answer. Yes, in this immense confusion one thing alone is clear. We are waiting for Godot to come. -Beckett
