Likewise, I too am unable to think of a favorite book title and thus have nothing to contribute to this thread, which I assure you I am regretful of and it is with sorrow and regret that I wish to inform you of this position I am in.

That title doesn't make sense because people count sheep in order to go to sleep, they don't dream of sheep.

Gravity's Rainbow is a beautiful and poetic title.

Also, my sister used to have a book named "Bury Me Standing". I was fascinated by the book as a teenager. There's something quite evocative of the image and also its subtext.

I’m partial to some of Celine’s titles, especially Death on Credit. I also unironically think Nietzsche is a master at picking his titles so that they lend his books a certain weight and importance even before you read them: Human All too Human, Dawn, Beyond Good and Evil, Twilight of the Idols, Ecce Homo, etc etc. They could just as well be titles of novels as Thus Spoke Zarathustra basically is, and I think Nietzsche was well aware of this effect which would no doubt draw more readers and the types of readers he wants
