I recently noticed I've got two pairs of books that share the exact same title though they're written by different people ... anyone else? (I'm not expecting anyone to come up with five, but I wasn't sure where else to post this.)
The double by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The Double by Jose Saramago
The cave by Tim Krabbe
The Cave by Jose Saramago
... and, obviously/bizarrely, both of my twins include a Saramago book!

I don't think I actually have any doubles, but I know there are several books called "Northern Lights" (which is why Philip Pullman's The Golden Compass was retitled in the U.S.), and I've had The Bright Phoenix by Harold Mead bring up the wrong touchstone.

These probably don't count, since they are on the same subject, but I have four books titled Charles Rennie Mackintosh, one titled Charles R. Mackintosh, and yet another called The Architect's Architect: Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Then there's Aphrodite, by Pierre Louÿs, and the book of the same title by Isabel Allende.

I can't get touchstones to give me 2 different authors for the title, so:
Play Dead by Peter Dickinson and by Harlan Coben

Son of York by Julia Hamilton and by Margaret Abbey
History of the Life and Reign of Richard the Third by James Gairdner and by George Buck
close, but no cigar:
Death of a Salesman: by Arthur Miller and
Death of a Salesperson: by Robert Barnard

I don't think "Voltaire" in numerous languages counts! I've also not counted the numerous works I have by different authors entitled Collected Poems and Complete Poems! I do have two books called "History of the Byzantine Empire" and two called "The Greek World", but they have different subtitles.

In my library, I have
The Night Watch by Sarah Waters and
Night Watch by Terry Pratchett and
The Night Watch by Sean Stewart.
LibraryThing turns up eighteen more books titled "Night Watch" or "The Night Watch" (three of which have subtitles), for a total of 21. Can anyone find one with more? (I think biographies titled just with the person's name are cheating....)

It's impossible to even estimate the number of people who have entitled a book Collected Poems. Just a very partial list would include: Zbigniew Herbert, T. S. Eliot, Robert Lowell, Sylvia Plath, Ted Hughes (I wonder if he stole the idea from her), William Blake, A.E Housman, Stanley Kunitz, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Philip Whalen, I could go on!
If anyone wants to answer the question "what's wrong with modern poetry?" -- I submit that a paucity of originality in titling books is at least a symptom.

I noticed just yesterday that I'd catalogued Rose in Bloom incorrectly - I wanted the Alcott title.
Not quite identical but I have copies of Original Sin and Original Sins.
