The german book title for "Convenience Store Woman" is "Die Ladenhüterin" which means simultaneously "Woman who protects the store" and "Product that does never get bought and therefore sits in the store forever". I think that's brilliant.

My personal favorite is "I'm Glad My Mom Died". I saw this at the store and bought it just from the title. I wanted to know how the author would justify this title. And oh boy, justify she did. "The Palace of Illusions", "The Kind Worth Killing", "On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous" & "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" are few favorites too.

My second would be "Beautiful world, where are you?" I remember just have great expectations for this as a title so beautiful really asks you the question of how beautiful is the books actually.

Some of my favorites are “when breath becomes air” by Paul Kalanithi, “their eyes were watching god” by Zora Neale Hurston, “human acts” by Han Kang (I know this one’s rather simple, but it’s just so perfectly chosen for the content of the book. The Korean original title 소년이 온다 is also really cool), “night sky with exit wounds” by Ocean Vuong (like could a poetry book have a more gorgeous title?) and the German title for Michaela DePrince’s “taking flight”: Ich kam mit dem Wüstenwind, which translates as ‘I came with the desert wind’ and I just think that’s a stunning title for a memoir^^
