112 Books With Funky Titles

Some just roll off the tongue. Some have become so well-known that the words have nearly lost their meaning (*cough* Catcher in the Rye *cough*). Try to look at them as if you've never heard them before. What does a lion have to do with a wardrobe? What exactly *are* the grapes of wrath? Would you pick the book up to find out?
Here is a list based on interesting titles alone, from all corners of the bookstore.
PS One-word titles list coming soon.
