The Long Walk by Stephen King/Richard Bachman The title tells exactly what is going to happen in the book yet it also stands for so much more symbolically.

Interesting. Not sure I agree with all of it, but it's well done and very persuasive. Didn't know he had done anything like that out of comic books.|

Hmmmm, for me... lot of titles.
Death Comes for the Archbishop - by Willa Cather has always had a ring to it. Interesting book as well.
The Great Gatsby - by F. Scott Fitzgerald this is a perfect title. Says something of his carnival like parties and his potential, but also has a ring of finality and ending to it, as well.
The Death of Ivan Ilych - by Leo Tolstoy... encapsulates the basic concept of the short story and where it starts, but by the time you get to the end, the whole meaning of it has changed: for you have changed as well.
Demons - by Fyodor Dostoevesky I had never heard of this book until I picked it up off the shelf, and the title just hooked me. The demons are infecting all the characters of the book and their actions, and it's a very telling account of humanity and pre-revoloutionary Russia.
Nine Princes in Amber - by Roger Zelazny... I have to admit that hearing this one, there was a ring to it that made me curious to read it. Same thing for Night in the Lonesome October.
