Yesterday, Movieline celebrated the news that Penguin Publishing had enlisted Push author Sapphire to pen a sequel to the book that eventually became Lee Daniels' Oscar-nominated Precious. The new book will reportedly center on "the son of the main character from Push as he approaches manhood -- alone, brutalized and with the soul of an artist." And while Sapphire has prematurely titled the novel The Kid, the higher powers at Movieline understand that this title will just...not...do. So join Louis Virtel, a few writers from the hit sitcom Mike & Molly and I below as we brainstorm more deserving titles for Precious's return.
