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

You have the option of ignoring the letters S,E,X,Y if they are at the end of a word. example: if House is the last word, you could use E (HousE), S (HouSe) or U (HoUse)

* We'll ignore A, An, and The in titles for this game.

How far can we go?

Let's find out.

Enjoy!

Valiant

By Jack Campbell

Frybabe, have you read Seveneves? The review I read suggested that you would have to spend an inordinate amount of time on learning the dynamics of the seven pieces the moon splits into, and the fragments from their collisions with each other. The reviewer thought it was eventually worth the effort, but I'm not sure I want to bother.

Frybabe · « **Reply #2755 on:** April 17, 2016, 06:43:42 AM »

Pat, Seveneves is a very dense book (not to mention many, many pages). Seven Eves refers to seven women, not pieces of the moon, but yes, the book does dwell on technical aspects like orbital dynamics as well as other things necessary to survival in space including food and fuel. There are a few diagrams to help visualize the space station. It is a good book, but you do need to spend time with it.

PatH · « **Reply #2756 on:** April 18, 2016, 06:53:08 PM »

That's true of all of Stephenson's books; you have to work very hard, but you do get a good payoff.
