15 Anagrams That Work Perfectly As Book Titles

15 Perfect Alternative Titles For Classic Books (And They're All Anagrams!)

Little else is more amusing for book lovers than imagining alternative titles for beloved classics. Better Book Titles, a blog that names books after their literal plots or themes, is hilarious without fail. And of course, a number of authors explored alternate titles before settling on their final choice (did you know The Great Gatsby was almost titled Gold-Hatted Gatsby? Yikes!).

In keeping with this theme, we've created anagrams for a number of classic novels that could have worked as the actual titles. Enjoy!
