New competition for those suffering from terminal ennui. Check the rules in the competition section.

Basically, it's about including the title of novel in your intro's prose. Any genre is acceptable. Bit of a challenge--give it a try.

There are plenty of lists of book titles about:

...is just one.

NOTE from Kathleen: I edited this in order to add a link to the rules.

Why, thank you so kindly, Kathleen...

Also:

If people find other lists of titles, perhaps they could post a link to them on this thread; it will serve the dual function of acting as a resource and as well as bumping it to the top.

But these examples are titles that were influnced by a passage in another piece of literature.
Do you want us to write an opening where a title to a book is in it? For example...

I found the great Gatsby on the stoop of my apartment building holding a bottle of cheap wine while smoking the butt of a cigarette he dug out of a crack in the sidewalk.
