This was a cool quick list on a website called theawl.com written by a guy named Ted Pillow. I must say the man (Dick) does have cool book titles. And the title of my post looks almost pornographic, if you blur your vision a bit.
Theorizing that one could poop within his own lifetime, Doctor Poopet led an elite group of scientists into the desert to develop a top secret project, known as QUANTUM POOP. Pressured to prove his theories or lose funding, Doctor Poopet, prematurely stepped into the Poop Accelerator and vanished. He awoke to find himself in the past, suffering from partial amnesia and facing a mirror image that was not his own. Fortunately, contact with his own bowels was made through brainwave transmissions, with Al the Poop Observer, who appeared in the form of a hologram that only Doctor Poopet could see and hear. Trapped in the past, Doctor Poopet finds himself pooping from life to life, pooping things right, that once went wrong and hoping each time, that his next poop will be the poop home.

Hrm. I should make a list of Glen Cook titles in order of awesomeness.

An Empire Unacquainted with Defeat
A Shadow of All Night Falling
With Mercy Toward None
A Pitiless Rain
An Ill Fate Rising
She Is the Darkness
Whispering Nickel Idols
All Darkness Met
The Dragon Never Sleeps
...
"Here is light. You will say that it is not a living entity, but you miss the point that it is more, not less. Without occupying space, it fills the universe. It nourishes everything, yet itself feeds upon destruction. We claim to control it, but does it not perhaps cultivate us as a source of food? May it not be that all wood grows so that it can be set ablaze, and that men and women are born to kindle fires?"

It's funnier if you add 'In Bed' at the end of each.

In context, Solider Live is a fantastic title, but out of context I don't think it's particularly amazing, unlike the others I listed.
