Yes, just what the subject says. It doesn't have to be a book you've read or even like, but if it has a wonderful name for a title feel free to post it here.
Flowers of the Moon and Other Lunacies is just so intriguing to me. Although this could have something to do with my obsession with the moon. The short stories are by Robert Bloch so I am sure that I'll love them once I have the pleasure of reading this collection.

I don't know if it's the most beautiful title, but I've always loved "Of Nightingales That Weep," by Katherine Patterson. It brings to mind several lovely images.

I think City of Saints and Madmen is pretty. It was beautifully written, as well.

If by beautiful you mean poetic...
"The Long Dark Night of the Soul" by St. John of the Cross.
"If on a winter's night a traveler..." by Italo Calvino

Love in the Asylum. The title caught my eye. It sounded beautiful to me. Glorious hehe.. That's why I bought it. Awesome book. Touching. Short, too. ;D Only 290 pages.
Revenge and Hairstyles of the Damned sounded a bit poetic to me. Or maybe I'm just crazy..>>; I bought them yesterday, along with The Developer. Spent all my money on them.
-shakes fist at Barnes&Noble's expensive prices-
Oh, and Misery.

Oh, and Misery. I agree. Those do sound rather eye-catching. I might have to add Love in the Asylum to my to be read list. Yeah, the prices can be killer on our financial resources.

Cast in Shadow has a ring to it that makes it beautiful but mysterious.

I didn't really think of it until now, but I've always liked The Silence of the Lambs as a title. I don't know why, I just do.

There is a current book I'm reading called "Across the Nightingale Floor" (by Lian Hearn) and it completely captures my imagination. I always picture a tasteful sword brawl between two samurai swordsmen. whee
Another book I read when I was younger, "Things Not Seen" (Which is written by Andrew Clements) has always been a favourite of mine. Sadly, I have misplaced the book many years ago and it saddens me. I must buy another copy.

My favourite beautiful title would have to be The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R. R. Martin. Most of my favourite titles, though, are amusing paradoxes or oxy-morons rather than poetic. For example:
There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom by Louis Sachar
The Unathorized Autobiography by Lemony Snicket
The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory

Skellig by David Almond, Waifs and Strays and The Riddle of the Wren by Charles De Lint, and Gossamer by Lois Lowry are my favorites.
iPumperdiddle, I read the first book you mentioned, and loved it. ^_^
