Classic by any other name.. Submitted by Elijah Lineberry on Sun, 2007-11-18 05:00.
Here is a very interesting article in the Sunday Telegraph, about how various famous novels acquired their titles. The books covered are 'Catch-22', 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' and the famous fictional Butler 'Jeeves'. I must say I found reading Catch-22 a bit boring, as a fairly simple joke wore very thin by about page 250 and 93rd example of it! The film version with Jack Nicholson of 'The Postman Always Rings Twice' is just splendid. Jack at his best!

On
the subject of books, I thought this article was worth mentioning.
About the author Ian Rankin, rather amusing to think he was a suspect in a murder due to his research!
