Uh-oh. Sounds like a job for The Lulu Titlescorer. http://www.lulu.com/titlescorer/index.php
That's so annoying. Maybe you can have her killed? And then invent a time machine and make sure Oprah never gets her break into TV and therefore can never have a book club and never rate a book that stole your title! (hey, I didn't say it was a perfect plan)
-
That's okay, Kitty. Try googling Strange Fruit, and you'll see why Colleen and I almost went hunting for another title. But decided we could keep it, and you can keep yours, too.
-
Interesting how with all the claim-jumping that goes on in intellectual property, titles can't be copyrighted. Kate, if you've gone off Things I Thought I Knew, why not call your book Gone With The Wind or Hamlet, or wait, Bleak House - that's a good one!
-
Or how about calling it Things I Thought I Knew and Zombies? Pride and Prejudice and Zombies did very well, I hear...
-
Or
Things I wished I knew
about Ms Cohen's book could head the list
-
@Fiona. Bleak House? Hamlet? How about The Da Vinci Code? Or maybe Things I Thought I Knew About Harry Potter. (I'm with Jassy - zombies are hot right now - and smelly, cos that's what happens to undead flesh in heat)
-
What heat? It's farking freezing in Jozi today. All the zombies are smelling like daisies and marketing their own fragrance lines.
-
eau d'ecay?

Hee hee hee. Sarah loaned me Pride and Pornography the other day -- all the HOT chapters excised from Jane Austen. How about "Things I thought I knew before reading the NY Times"? Speaking of which, here's a helpful post for you, from BookSA's stream of twitter: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/13/books/13maslin.html?_r=2&src=twt&twt=nytimesbooks

Zombies Ate my Title? Ms Cohen and the Unbearable Ambivalence? Attack of the Killer Daisies? Waiter There's an Earlobe in Ms Cohen’s Soup? I'm trying hard here but sinutab ate my brains. Eau d’ecay, rotfl snuffle rotfl
-
Things I Thought Nobody Else Knew?
-
Just as well you found this before publishing...
-
I would think that you could use the title too. Yours will be better!
And talking of titles, the American comedienne Kathy Griffin is releasing a book with a title that is just perfect. 'Official Book Club Selection'. Don't you just hate her!
