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!

Frybabe Sorry, I didn't mean to sound rude. You and a couple of others were posting more or less together at a time when there's usually no one around for me to play with. No wonder I was taken by surprise.

Gum, you weren't rude. You did sound surprised. I do notice a major drop off of participants after 11pm EST. Considering it is daylight somewhere at any one time (or people like me who are up late), it is a bit surprising that there aren't more on.

The ABC Murders

Agatha Christie

on Anna KareninA

Lucky: Thanks for giving me a choice of three titles - made it easy - but I think we're meant to name just one title at a time. We can save the others for another time. BTW I'm just coming to the end of a re-read of Edith Wharton's Age of Innocence and am planning to browse through some of her letters next...it's fun to go back sometimes.
