45 Book Titles That Offer Something 'Old' or Something 'New'

"Out with the old, in with the new! In honor of our civilization's extremely annual New Year tradition, we've put together another title-theme collection, this time around zooming in on the terms "old" and "new."

These title-theme exercises can be pleasantly surprising. They're fundamentally arbitrary, but they always seem to generate interesting contrasts. It's a kind of lateral thinking, like sorting your bookshelves by size or color, just to see what happens.

Where else can you find Charles Dickens shelved next to YA vampire short stories? Or stylized detective novels next to John Irving classics? Maybe you'll find American historical fiction, or Indian murder mysteries, or delicious behind-the-scenes gossip about late-night comedy."
