Book Title Game

[Scheherazade]

I am wondering if we can play the Song Title Game with book titles and authors. We will post a book title which contains a word from the previous post. If -and only if- we cannot think of a book title containing word, another work by the same author (so this will be our wild card in a way :) ).

I will get the ball rolling with the book we are reading now:
