So I'm writing a book, the contents of which is not really important.

What I need is a good title. A really good title. One as well made as "The Sound and the Fury". It should sound like a classic novel.

Oh, and I'll credit the person who comes up with the best one, if you like.

I'm about 30k words into my next book.

You're not alone; the title is one of the last things I get around to.

It's really hard to encapsulate a story in several short words. In the past I came up with titles and worked from there, but I found that to be too limiting.

Ah, yes. Green thought himself great enough, finally good enough to stand next to his idol Wallace, to use a Shakespeare title. It's really his "Infinite Jest", what he thinks as his magnum opus, that one. How pathetic.

Shakespeare seems like a good source.
