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 Y and take the next letter to the Y instead (Pat rule!)
*** You may ignore numbers and take the next letter back..

How far can we go?

Let's find out.

Enjoy!

PatH · « **Reply #153 on:** February 25, 2009, 07:51:28 AM »

I hadn't thought of that book for decades, but it was mentioned in "Team of Rivals", which we're going to start discussing March 1. Written in 1832, it's the reaction of an upper-class Englishwoman to the crude American society. She didn't much care for the rough frontier manners, and she hated the egalitarian opportunities. Why, "anyone's son could become the equal of anyone else's son". Horrors!

PatH · « **Reply #154 on:** February 25, 2009, 07:54:11 AM »

Frances Trollope was the mother of novelist Anthony Trollope. I don't think she wrote anything else. Her book was in our house when I was growing up (along with about 2000 others) but I only read bits of it.
