Having just posted in the thread for one word book titles, how about a thread for long titles. Not counting the definite or indefinite article that a title might start with, and leaving out the non-fiction books that seem to consist of a whole paragraph on their own, let's see how many fiction book titles we can find with 5 or more words in the title.
In the Houses of the West by Christopher Burns
Midnight is a Lonely Place by Barbara Erskine
The Church of the Dead Girls by Stephen Dobyns
On Her Majesty's Secret Service by Ian Fleming
The Man With a Load of Mischief by Martha Grimes
