Too much negativity. How about some nominations for favorite titles?
I've already mentioned Gmeeoorh; to which I'll add
Feldman: The King of Denmark
Lim: Machine for Contacting the Dead
Hopefully that will get the ball rolling; I'll try to think of more...
(my current favorite among my own works is Positioning in Radiography)
ed: Title respelled to reflect limey sensibilities.

Sure, but less of a problem in that context than Ornstien's Suicide in an Airplane, presumably (OK, so you could see that one coming from a hundred Paces, couldn't you!). Actually, come to think of it (in that 9/11 context), some Americans refer to a certain cycle of 48 keyboard something-or-others as "WTC", which seems to be abit unfortunate following that incident... Best, Alistair |

Merely corroborative detail, intended to give artistic verisimilitude to an otherwise bald and unconvincing narrative.

(It's one of those seemingly pointless abbreviations that's as many syllables as the actual phrase!) ((Or even longer, if the phrase is World Trade Center rather than Well-Tempered Clavier.)) |

A few random faves:
Chronochromie
Essay on Pigs
The Road to Hell is Paved with Slaughter
Strange Fruit
The Love of Three Oranges
La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura
Al gran sole carico d'amore (sorry Stuart, sorry QT, it does it for me)
knospend-gespaltener (not that I'm biased)
More will doubtless appear in the fullness of time (not a title but maybe it should be... although in that case probably on a certain other thread)
