HN automatically mangles titles in various ways I’m not fond of, dropping words that might or might not be significant, fiddling with capitalisation, &c., but the submitter can go back and edit the title back to what it was supposed to be, and the one time I’ve done that the system didn’t mangulate it again.

That's by design, because the software is obviously imperfect. It does more good than harm, though, so we keep it.

Ok, we've re-veried the title above.

There's also a film based on the book.

It was better than expected, IMO.

That was the book that made me want to move to Australia!

Or Timbuktu.

Well, did you end up moving to Australia?
