Someone mentioned I Know This Much Is True by Wally Lamb. Something about the title struck me and I looked it up on Goodreads. It seems like a beautiful book, I look forward to reading it. When Breath Becomes Air is also a striking title. I added it to my to-read list, but I'm not sure when I'll be in the mood to bawl my eyes out. What are some other books with beautiful titles?

Raymond Carver’s short story and poetry collections often have beautiful titles, I think:
*What We Talk About When We Talk About Love*
*A New Path to the Waterfall*
*Where Water Comes Together With Other Water*
*At Night The Salmon Move*
*Furious Seasons*
*No Heroics, Please*
*Winter Insomnia*
*In a Marine Light*
The unbearable lightness of being
Snow Falling on Cedars
*You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty* by Akwaeke Emezi
(Although the phrase was taken from a Florence + The Machine song, so Florence Welch technically gets the credit!)
No Earth We Are Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong.
East of Eden, Monsoon Mansion, All the Light We Cannot See
*The Girl Who Fell Beneath the Sea* by Axie Oh (the cover is also so beautiful!)
*Alone With You in the Ether* by Olivie Blake
