FA10 10.9 - Coralie’s 2nd Place Task: Also Known As...
date

newest »
Two For Tanner was the originally published title, but I read it as The Scoreless Thai. I read this a couple of Challenges ago when Sam had the Edgar Winners task. This was a quick fun read if anyone is looking for one.
The Book Of Negroes work? It was published in Canada under that name, while in the States and other places it was published under Someone Knows My Name(if you go to wikipedia, you will be redirected to The Book of Negroes, which was its original title).
Would Moby-Dick or, The Whale be acceptable? Explanation from Wikipedia:"It was first published by Richard Bentley in London on October 18, 1851 in an expurgated three-volume edition titled The Whale, and weeks later as a single volume, by New York City publisher Harper and Brothers as Moby-Dick; or, The Whale on November 14, 1851."
I liked Someone Knows My Name, and that seems like a perfect fit for this category. I would also recommend Out Backward by Ross Raisin which was published in the UK as God's Own Country
Smilla's Sense of Snow, also published as Miss Smilla's Feeling for SnowLet the Right One In, also published as Let Me In
A Thousand Cuts, also published as Rupture
Keep those suggestions coming! I'm glad for the help with this one as it has me a little stumped. I did look as a copy of 'Little Bee' in the bookstore last night. It looked interesting, I may use that for this task. But I'm on the frugal side of the book buying scale, and I didn't want to shell out the $14.95 sales price. Sigh, I'll get in queue for it at the library. (And enjoy spending my $14.95 elsewhere...) :-)
I found one! Schindler's List by Thomas Keneally was originally published as 'Schindler's Ark' in Australia.And as an added bonus this author was born in the fall. (Combo points for task 10.3!)
Thanks Krista! Schindler's List has been sitting on my bookshelf forever.
Fathers and Sons has also been published as Fathers and Children. Turgenev was born 11/9/1818, so also a combo with Fall Birthdays 10.3.The Indian Bride has been published as Calling Out for You. Karin Fossum was born 11/6/1954, and this book is also a combo with Scandinavian Noir.

Ooh, this one sounds good. I'll have to delve into it a little deeper. Thanks Elizabeth!
Krista, it's also her 4th Sejer book, so depending on Sam's answer to my question about Series, it might also qualify for 5 Series style points.
Julie and Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen and Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously
Here is a Goodreads list of books with alternate titles. Just make sure you double-check there actually is an alternate title for a book you may be interested in reading for this task, though. Anyone can add a book to any list so it is better to be certain.P.G. Wodehouse had a number of books issued under different titles for the U.S. Here is the list.
Another possibility is The Possessed by Fyodor Dostoevsky. It's alternative titles are The Devils or Demons.
Additionally:
Slaughterhouse-Five or Slaughterhouse-Five, or The Children's Crusade
Frankenstein or Frankenstein: Or, The Modern Prometheus
The Annotated Hobbit or The Hobbit: Or There and Back Again
Moby Dick or Moby-Dick or, The Whale
Roots or Roots: The Saga of an American Family
Candide or Candide, or Optimism
Uncle Tom's Cabin or Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin: Or, Life Among the Lowly. A Domestic Drama, in Six Acts
Brideshead Revisited or Brideshead Revisited: The Sacred and Profane Memories of Captain Charles Ryder
Oliver Twist or Oliver Twist - The Parish Boy's Progress
Tess of the D'Urbervilles or Tess of the D'urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented
These are just suggestions and you should always get approval before you make your final decision.
I hope these help.

Does it really count as a different title if one of the titles contains the other title?

That's a good point; what I'm most concerned about is whether or not the books have truly been published under two different titles. For example, I have editions of the following books that have the shorter title on the spine and the longer title on the title page:
Frankenstein
The Hobbit
Moby Dick
Candide
Brideshead Revisited
Tess of the d'Urbervilles
Oliver Twist
I'm not going to say flat-out "no" to all books with subtitles, but I do believe that most of them won't work.
The one I'm reading is the sequel to Chocolat by Joanne Harris. The UK title is The Lollipop Shoesand the US title is The Girl with No Shadow.

Read a book that has been published in English with more than one title. It could be a book that has been translated under different titles such as The Possessed, or published under different titles in Britain and America Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or republished under a different title for whatever reason And Then There Were None.
