I need a book title
Hi All
I have received so many helpful suggestions from you guys, I thought I would try for another one - slightly off the wall. The first part of 2011, I made a solo trip around the world returning in mid july. After a small bout with depression (about it being over I guess) I took someone's suggestion on this forum and did a book about my little adventure. By the time I finished it, it was over 300 pages. I have spent the last month or so editing the pictures and copy and now just about have it finished. My problem is I would like to have a really cute title for it. I find myself unable to come up with anything catchy. It wont be on the NT Times best seller list, - just a coffee table book full of pictures and stories of everywhere I went. If it helps, I am 72, did the 6 month trip solo and with a 18 lb backpack. There are a lot of really clever folks that look at this forum. Can you help me with some name for a book of a trip like this? I appreciate and will definitely consider any suggestions. Thanks a bunch Shrink |

I have put your "problem" to a list of librarians/writers.
First suggestion from a member is "When I am an old man, I shall wear a backpack: adventures of a 72 year old world traveller" |

YOU GUYS ARE INCREDIBLE! All of your suggestions made me smile, several brought me laughter, and a couple brought me to tears. I really believe that Fodors folks are quite unique among the human race. Thank you so much.
Can I assume that I have your permission to use one of these? Now the hard part is going to be picking the best from the best. Again thank you for your cleverness, and eloquence. Shrink |
A hop, skip and a jump around the world at 70.
