   Re: worst story title

   Why I ask this, is that I noticed an audiobook of a novel in public library   
   that said _The Quest_ on the spine of the box.  Cover blurb told me it is   
   Ancient Egypt with a sorcerer as POV character.   
      
   Alas!  This author has used an exotic setting with exotic POV character and   
   all he can come up with is _The Quest_.   
      
   I thought this is worst title possible, because any fiction could be titled   
   "The Quest" or "The Journey."  In theory, all story characters have a   
   journey.  Such is how my mind works.   
      
   Mais oui, all of the titles y'all have provided thus far suck bigtime also.
