Huxley had a knack for making titles out of some of Shakespeare's best lines - 'After Many A Summer', 'Time Must Have a Stop'. I quite like Maugham's title's - 'The Moon in the Gutter', 'The Razor's Edge'. Joyce - 'A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man' is a great 'what it says on the tin' title. Others: 'Murder on the Orient Express', 'The Seven Pillars of Wisdom', 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'...

The Prophet is a book I never got tired of reading and after reading it I felt that the author of this book is a mystic. I got transformed after that. I am no longer the same and my attitudes have undergone a sea change.
This book is unbeatable and recommendable for those who is interested in spirituality.
Interesting that you call The Moon and Sixpence the Moon in the Gutter is that perhaps a foreign translation?Quote:
