>HOLLYWOOD TITLE (ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED AS THIS OTHER TITLE)
e.g. BLADE RUNNER (originally published as 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep')

>PRESENT PARTICIPLE
Politicians like this for their turgid, self-serving, narcisisstic biographies. e.g. "Becoming" by Michelle Obama

>WHY YOU SHOULD DO THIS THING
Used for paper-thin hot takes which think they're bold, provocative theses. e.g. "Why You Should Be A Trade Unionist' by Len McClusky

>SHORT PHRASE: TOWARDS A MORE BORING PHRASE
e.g. "Healing: Towards A Racially Fair Society" by someone I'm sure who has written a book called something like this.

>SOME NUMBER OF THINGS TO DO WITH SOME HUMOROUS TOPIC
e.g. "50 Things Not To Do On A First Date, by Someone-or-Other". The sort of book you read in seven minutes and never look at again, and yet which costs the same as a real book.

Books that have cowards as protagonist?
