What's in a Name Challenge

I think the point of this challenge is to pick a book from each of these categories and then read it during 2009.  So I'm trying to think of books for each category that I haven't read yet.  I need suggestions.

A book with a "profession" in its title:

Help?!!

A book with a "time of day" in its title:

Twilight by Stephanie Meyer (because I feel I ought to)

Or

Thursday Next, by Jasper Fforde (because I want to read it - although technically Thursday is a day and not a time a day and technically Thursday isn't even a day in this book.)

A book with a "relative" in its title:

Dreams of my Father, by Barack Obama (truthfully I'm not all that interested in reading this but I can't think of another book with a "relative" in its title.)

A book with a "body part" in its title:

The Clothes on Their Backs by Linda Grant (I didn't have to think hard on this, it was already on my list)

A book with a "building" in its title:

The Black Tower by Louis Bayard (I could be convinced to pick something else)

A book with a "medical condition" in its title:

I'm stumped.  Andif recommends Warm Springs: Traces of a Childhood at FDR’s Polio Haven" by Susan Richards Shreve which I do remember being interested in.

My Year in Reading - 2024

2024 is now in the books and it is time for me to look back on my reading and my reading goals for the year. I'm not one to set reading ...
