Brevity is the soul of wit.... but I found it hard to come up with titles that are THAT brief!
Fever 1793, Dumbo, and The Clique exceed the one-syllable rule.
Removed those, also Empty, Anthem, XVI, and Proxy.
What about books with a one syllable title followed by a strapline, e.g.Faust: Part One
Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
?
I think those should be removed.
Lobstergirl wrote: "What about books with a one syllable title followed by a strapline, e.g.Faust: Part One
Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex..."
I tend to consider only the actual title for title lists, so for me, Bonk and Blink would qualify. For many books like them, the strapline isn't included on all the editions (or at least not on Goodreads).
I've removed Dracula, Chocolat, Company, Zoya, Eucalyptus, Hannah, Anastasia, Jassy and Stormswept, for the obvious reason that the titles consist of more than one syllable.Please be aware that one syllable is not always the same as one word....
I'm surprised that readers have been able to come up with over 400. I looked through my list of books read and all my 1-syllable title books (there weren't many) were already here.
