Another great post, thanks, Nola. I love titles which have more than one meaning or include word play. I do remember studying George Orwell's Keep the Aspidistra Flying - including the title as a play on Keep the Flag flying.
Thanks Jenny. That's a great example. Word play can be especially good for humorous books, but there are a number of serious ones that have also used it to great effect. When I find a really clever title that actually adds an extra layer of meaning (rather than just being clever for the sake of it), it's an added bonus. Thanks for your comment :)
