Welcome to:

Title Mania!

Title Mania is a simple game which should be a lot of fun! NO peeking at titles and authors, this brain teaser is intended to rack the old grey cells: entirely from your own memory!

Simply give the title of a book which begins with the last letter of the title before it: *

Ex: The Good Earth:
Answer:How Green Was My Valley.
Next: A book title which starts with Y

* We'll ignore A, An, and The in titles for this game.
** You may choose to IGNORE any title ending in S E X Y and Z
*** You may ignore numbers and take the next letter back..

How far can we go?

Let's find out.

Enjoy!

Three Cups of Tea

by Mortensen

on streeTs

I'm really excited about the discussion of "Three Cups of Tea" that will be starting May 1: The book is non-fiction, but is so interesting, I couldn't put it down. It's an American climber who gets lost in a small Pakistan village. When he leaves, he promises to build them a school. Although he is almost penniless, he manages in the end to build over 200 schools for girls in Pakistan and Afganistan. How he does it is an inspiration to all of us.

Join the end of the prediscussion here:

or wait for the discussion, May 1.

Dracula
by Bram Stoker

on the D from World

Have the book (along with Frankenstein) but haven't read it. My favorite dracula is Bela Legosi. And then there was the Leslie Nielson version that just cracked me up - can't remember the name of the movie.

I re-read my post this morning and realized (oh horror) I spelled Lugosi wrong. I thought it looked a little off last night.

Listen for a Lonesome Drum
by Carl Carmer

on the L from Gospel

Carl Carmer was a folklorist. Many of his works centered in the Genesee Valley/Hudson Valley area of New York when it was just beginning to be populated with colonists. "Lonesome" is one of his books of tall tales, folk tales and "stories of religious fervor and scandal" (from the back cover). Stories include Indian as well as colonial tales.

His novel, Genesee Fever was based on a number of tales and real inhabitants of the area in those days. I don't know if it is in print at the moment, but it is a good read.
