a blog about judging a book by its title
I'll start with a title I think is great:"Thinking, Fast & Slow" by Daniel KahnemanBrilliant title. Have only made it about a quarter of the way through the book at this point.
“A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius,” is a great title for a disappointing book. Which is maybe the point?
The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse.1) Last. There were more? Instantly interesting. 2) Report v. Miracles. Like that contrast. 3) Short titles are generally a better idea. So much so that a lengthy one stands out. To me.
