I know the theory is in doubt/overthrown but it's still a possiblity, it's the most certain thing we have at the moment. *fury grows at Harper collins and whoever else is keeping everything secret in the hopes of making more money* It's O'Leary. I've been deleting your posts because you're posting in the wrong thread, and are therefore spamming. I sent you a message giving you the answer, but apparently, you didn't get it. Now, please stay on topic. On topic: Why have we disbanded the theory that the word "tower" is in the title? It seems likely to me, especially from what we've gathered from TheNamelessNovel.com It's not so much invalid, but just as likely as all of the other possible titles. There's nothing about that possibility that makes it more likely than the others, in other words. |

The Quarrelsome Quarters would be an interesting title, although it seems odd to refer to a set of rooms as quarrelsome. Maybe they're "quarrelsome" because people in them are arguing constantly. Or maybe it could be The Questionable Quarters.

"Quarrelsome Quarters" would work for the same reason that "Miserable Mill" does (and "Austere Academy" etc., but I think TMM was a better example of this). A Q title would be interesting... It just seems odd and different, to me. Probably because Q isn't a letter which many book titles begin with.

Although Q is not a letter that Lemony uses sparingly, remember Quigley Quagmire? Plenty of Q action going on over there.

I think I'd prefer Questionable Quarters to Quarrelsome Quarters, if Lemony were to use that sort of title. Questionable makes more sense based on what we've seen from TNN.com(the hotel's apparently full of "questionable" people) although it may be too early to draw any conclusions.

I also would prefer "Questionable" - although really, it could be pretty much anything. The only thing we really know about the title is that it's probably to do with a hotel, and it's not going to be particularly obvious (unless it's so incredibly obvious that nobody's even thought of it, but that might be the same as not being obvious).

Once again, I'm thinking over possible synonyms for hotel, any of which could be so obvious we haven't thought of them. However, the really obvious ones have initials that are already taken(hotel and motel, as well as restaurant and cafe, in reference to that Indian restaurant.)
Handler just might reuse initials this time, but who knows?

The Questionable Quarantine?
As far as what becomes of the Medusoid Mycelium, I don't know.

I hope he doesn't re-use initials (although I'd be perfectly happy for the last book to be another TBB - emphasise the way things have come around in a circle (or a figure-of-eight loop, as some people speculated one time when I was away another time, I think)). I've got some sort of psychological neatness complex, and if he re-used letters... I would never stop feeling uncomfortable about it.

I made an ASoUE infinity loop at some point:  Could the last book have the word "beach" in the title, possibly, because of the importance of Briny Beach in this cycle? However, it would be annoying if Handler reused initials, as we couldn't use some of the abbreviations without causing some confusion. And I'd just be uncomfortable with it. If he used a different letter for each book, he'd have used half the alphabet, which would be cool. |

This has been said, I believe, but if it is indeed named The Deadly Denouemont (spelling) then there would have been
TVV
and TDD. If the last book was named TFF, it'd be koool.

Yes. And the Q thing...... Queer Quarters, with Queer as in odd, might make people uncomfortable, what with all the anti-gay people out there. If O, how about The Ominous Organization?
Q action! Yay! GOOOO Q! *Does dance.*

I don't think we'll have an FF and DD in the last two books. If Handler was going to have books whose initials spelled out VFD, it would have made more sense to put them all in sequence. VV, then FF, then DD.

VV, then FF, then DD. you're probably right Antenora. but we do know that T is definatly in the title, no question about it. |
