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!
