I'd probably pick it up, just because it's an interesting concept, and also because it reminds me of a line from a song which I really like. But it would depend on the cover art as to whether I flipped it open or not.

The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief. ~William Shakespeare, Othello Boo. SPEW is watching.
I agree with Shafter here: cover art is a big booster. I have the habit of picking books ONLY with good cover art. (Which I know is bad, there are lots of great books which do not have interesting outer content).
I am reading Lolita for example now. Two black covers, no title. I had to ask the librarian for it.
I'm not sure. It sounds interesting and I'm sure it's relevent, but it also sounds like just another fantasy novel with an inpronouncable name. I think East of Acharren sounds better, too.
Drowning You
Jennafina's Love Your Body Already Dammit Campaign
Hmm... intriguing title, though I'd need cover art to determine it's genre. But whatever it is, I have a feeling it's either serious or satire.
(West of Acharren is actually one of the titles I considered for my book. But I didn't take it. I only have one story with a title, so thinking up titles to post at the end is a challenge.)
Murder mystery? Possibly a sci-fi, because I automatically think 'as opposed to not murdered yet?', so there could be time-travelling involved...
Hmm. I seem to be thinking too hard on this one. Here's a title I've been toying with.
I don't like the word "Stormsinger's" So it would depend on where it was in a book store, which I know sounds foolish, but I keep away from books in "best seller" or stuff like that. And the cover art, I'd probably pick it up in general but if it sounded no good it wouldn't get any time.
Vaudeville: A Tale in Five Acts The number is random, it would depend on the actual length of the book.
“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 sounds interesting. Almost biblical and fantasy at the same time (David is such a biblical name for me.) I would pick it up, for sure. The cover art could be real plane, and I think I would pick it up.

“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 sounds intriguing, perhaps something like a teenage fiction, about coming out of your shell perhaps. It's sounds like the sort of thing I'd pick up anyway ^^
Weaver's Blood
please grant me my small wish; (love me to the marrow of my bones)
Reminds me of a cauldron with magic. Sort of like the black cauldron. lol I don't think I'd personally pick it up, but then again I'm not a great judger of fantasy
Emerald Hearts (random title I just thought of for my book)
"I will have to tell you, you have bewitched me body and soul..." --Mr. Darcy, P & P, 2005 movie
"You pierce my soul." --Cpt. Frederick Wentworth
Hmm... a lot would depend on the cover art. I like the title, but it's hard to say what genre it is. I'd immediately think fantasy, but cover art could offset that.
