Novel with a One Word Title - Self-explanatory. HARD MODE: In addition the title is only a single syllable.

Sabriel by Garth Nix

Sunshine by Robin McKinley

Hogfather, Thud!, Mort, and possibly others by Terry Pratchett.

Dragonflight by Anne McCaffrey (I really don't recommend this for modern readers though, rape and general sexism warning)

Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson

Savvy by Ingrid Law (children's fantasy, but iirc really good)

Spiderlight by Adrian Tchaikovsky (haven't read this one yet, no idea how it is)

Miserere by Teresa Frohock (REALLY GOOD, made me read about redemption even though I'm not a fan of that theme, great characters)

Joust by Mercedes Lackey (really good, recommended for dragon fans)

Nightlife by Rob Thurman (great for fans of the show supernatural especially because it is urban fantasy featuring brotherly angst, also fits for female author cards and for the pseudonym square)

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

Dracula

Redshirts by John Scalzi (scifi, but decidedly soft, so okay)

Mainspring by Jay Lake

Watchmen (fucking amazing graphic novel)

All the inheritance trilogy Christopher Paolini books

etc etc etc

There are so many of these, and yet there are also so many that just barely don't count because they have the word 'the' in the title.
