What is your favorite title for a book? (Not the book itself, just the title).

Mine:
Heroes Die
-an epic title for an epic book
Before They Are Hanged
-comes from this epic quote: 'We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged.'
Last Argument of Kings
-I just love this title

ETA:
The Lies of Locke Lamora

Invasion of the Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse.

To kill a mockingbird

Crime and Punishment

(and in a similar vein) War and Peace

EDIT: Oh yeah, not out yet but "The Sign of the Worm" is great.

John dies at the end... - never read it but love the title.

Great book. The sequel is This Book is Full of Spiders: Seriously, Dude, Don't Touch it.

One of my favorites is Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal.

Others:

A Dark and Hungry God Arises

This Day, All Gods Die

Leviathan Wakes

Against A Dark Background

House of Suns

Last Light of the Sun

Love in the Time of Cholera

Speaking of which, "A Hundred Years of Solitude"

Germinal

Against All Things Ending

The Wounded Land (although I prefer the swedish title, it uses the author's penchant for obscure words "Det sargade landet")
