I think. I think I too judge books by their covers. I don't know if I would judge one by it's title, unless the title was signifigantly lame or cheesy. Then I would probably steer away from it, and look for something more interesting. But I think covers are definitely meant to draw people in, and unless there's that visual aspect of it to get your attention (the title can make up for that of course), then I think it's hard to get really interested in a book you've never heard of before, with a plain cover. If the book has been recommended to me however, then I couldn't care less what it looks like :P Good luck with finding something :) I’m afraid I can’t really think of any books with weird titles for you :( I haven’t been reading as much as I would like to lately, and when I was last on a reading spur it was because I wanted to read all the classics :P That said, I’m saving “War and Peace” for… well, la la la, someday.

Personally, I like covers, too... but I never buy books nowadays unless I need them. So it really depends on what I'm feeling at the moment. :D Some interesting titles I heard about lately (have no idea what these books are about, though): Eats Shoots and Leaves (Ito ba ay 'kumain, bumaril, tapos umalis?' Or 'kumakain ng shoots at dahon'? Cute, isn't it?) The Monk who Sold his Ferrari hey!! Personally, I like covers, too… but I never buy books nowadays unless I need them.
