Booking Through Thursday: Unique Sorting

There happened to be two Booking Through Thursday questions today, probably inadvertantly. The first one had to do with whether there is a book that “evokes summer” or has a summery feel to it. I don’t really have an answer for that one. But the second question is:

Browsing through my blog, I found a link to this post about the “Sorted Book Project.” Go read it. I’ll wait.

The idea is to take a few books and physically sort them in such a way that the titles make some kind of sense … something that I’ve never quite gotten around to doing and photographing, but which fascinates me.

What title/combinations can you come up with? (Bonus points if you actually assemble the books and photograph them, like in the original post

The question isn’t asking that: it’s asking participants to put together book titles that have something in common with each other or even tell a story through the titles. My favorite one from the link is the fifth picture (at least it is the fifth at this moment) about the sharks.

This was a fun idea — I could probably come up with a lot of interesting combinations if I didn’t have other things to get to today. But here’s what I came up with:
