symbols for these metallic elements in the periodic table. There are some benefits to a scientific education ;-)
On the back of thorold's neat idea I was going to add The W Plan, The Selected Poems of Li Po and I am Legion but didn't make 5.

To achieve true elegance, I should have picked a title that starts with a saint's name, shouldn't l? We live and learn.

Just wondering why Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows appear in the list of touchstone books on the right hand side when neither title appears in the posts above and neither has metal in it? In fact now I look at it again, there are several more odd titles there.
