I remember there being a title of a book that was a pallindrome. I forget what it was, though.

I can have fun with all three, but palindromes were always the most difficult, and the most fun. Some of my favorites that I've seen over the years:

A man, a plan, a canal: Panama!

Rise to vote, sir!

Madam in Eden, I'm Adam.

Do geese see God?

These of course are examples of mirrored-palindromes, which can be "graphically" reversed, as opposed to word-unit palindromes, which are sentences where the "words" can be read in either direction. Good fun with the language!
