When I write a book, I want it to have a great name. Great names (great names of non-fiction; fiction is a whole other category):
The Mermaid and the Minotaur
"The Dynamo and the Virgin" (okay, so it's only a chapter title, which actually makes Henry Adams a genius, getting even a fabulous name for a chapter).
Actually, I think that titles are quite important. I think I read Everything That Rises Must Converge and The Sun Also Rises purely because they have great names. This is also the reason that I bought A Separate Peace, which I haven't read.
