Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post. Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists. Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Super Long Book Titles. As is my custom, I decided to go off at a bit of a tangent so my list contains five book titles that suggest distance and five whose full titles may be longer than commonly thought.
A Long Way From Home by Peter Carey
Five Hundred Mile Walkies by Mark Wallington
The Long and Winding Road by Alan Johnson
From Here To Eternity by James Jones
A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley
- The Personal History, Adventures, Experience and Observation of David Copperfield the Younger of Blunderstone Rookery (Which He Never Meant to Publish on Any Account) by Charles Dickens
- The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club by Charles Dickens
- The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby by Charles Dickens
- The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling by Henry Fielding
- Life and Adventures of Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe

This is the longest one I can think of: One Clear Ice-cold January Morning at the Beginning of the 21st Century by Roland Schimmelpfennig (transl. Jamie Bulloch)

I knew it was longer than just David Copperfield but I didn’t realize how much longer until I was researching the post

Thanks. Long book titles and colons seem to go together when it comes to nonfiction it seems from your list.

Using long and distance related titles is a fun idea. There are lots of those!

You missed (or maybe didn’t know about) “And Every Morning the Way Home Gets Longer and Longer” by Fredrik Backman. This is a novella where I said in my review that the title is almost longer than the book!
