Goodreads Users Picked It Up Because of the Title - The First 400 Books - Page 4

This list has something for everyone, though the voting pattern has favoured contemporary works. And don't imagine these are purely frivolous books with wacky titles; many are serious fiction and non-fiction works.
Large numbers of suspect entries have been excluded. I will continue this list if there is sufficient interest (or maybe regardless, just to demonstrate the creativity of authors in dreaming up their titles.)
