What is the longest title of a book you've read?

Post by episkopos »

Some books have really long titles. The longest I have come across so far and read is "For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath."

What about you?

I never read this, but the title alone is a book in itself.

Memoir of an Eventful Expedition in Central America; resulting in the discovery of the idolatrous city of IXIAMA. in an unexplored region, and the possession of two remarkable Aztec children, descendants and specimens of the Sacerdotal Caste, (now nearly extinct) of the Ancient Aztec founders of the ruined temples of that country.

I remember reading a story with the title:

"my big sister is sooo bossy; she said you cant read this book."

Hmm... maybe "The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making" by Catherynne M. Valente
