The title of a book can often be at least as memorable as what鈥檚 inside, and this reading season has brought some doozies. With no further ado, here are our nominations for the five most unusual book titles of the summer:

The fragment becomes for Lively a kind of talisman for the strange workings of memory across time and space.
