    1. That would depend on how one interprets "wake" - as a funeral-related event, or as a call to "wake up" or even as the wake left behind by a ship. Note there is no apostrophe in the title.

  5. Tentative Old World by Huxley.

    Veni Vidi by J. Caesar (OK, that is not technically the title of the book but i suggest it deserves honorable mention).

    Excavation by Asimov (possibly opaque).

    Game of Fancy Chairs by George "Donkey Cart" Martin.

    Might be fun to do this with music titles or bands, too. 3 Dog Afternoon.

    1. Not too opaque. But he already did it - called it "Prelude to Foundation"

      The music titles suggestion is interesting. I'll see if anyone else has done that.
