The only one I'm sure I'll be buying is P.C. Hodgell's Honor's Paradox (Kencyrath #6).

The rest are ones I'm looking forward to reading from the library:
Patricia Wrede, Across the Great Barrier (Frontier Magic #2)
Michelle Sagara, Cast in Ruin (Elantra #7)
Scott Westerfeld, Goliath (Leviathan #3)
N.K. Jemisin, The Kingdom of Gods (Inheritence #3)
Amanda Downum, Kingdoms of Dust (Necromancer Chronicles #3)
Brandon Sanderson, The Alloy of Law (Mistborn #4)
Martha Wells, The Serpent Sea (Cloud Roads #2)
Robin Hobb, City of Dragons (Rain Wilds #3)

I cannot help noticing a certain pattern to everything on that list. If I write a book called "#" is it guaranteed to sell?

You'd be putting yourself into competition with .Hack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.hack), which may or may not be a good idea.

Actually, do publishers and agents give any thought to search engine optimisation when dicatating titles for books?
