    List of Book Titles

    I was wondering if there's on the web a generator for, or a big list of, titles of magical books. I am about to start a new subplot in my campaign that involves extensive library researches (sort of 1st chapter of Vecna Lives!) in particular I need a dozen or so titles of books on theoretical necromacy, negative plane elementalism, ethical analysis of corpse reanimation etc. Being not an English-speaking native I have big difficulties in coming up with cool names that are not just "the ebon book of death" and similarly prosaic names.
    Any ideas?

    There are several books mentioned in Dragon #253, and various other issues list books from time to time, but the best list I've seen is in the article "Spells Between the Covers" in Dragon #82. I seem to recall seeing a web-based book title generator once, but I can't remember where. Anybody else have a clue?
