 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 ignore numbers  and take the next letter back..
***You may ignore any title ending in the letters  S E X Y Z and take the next letter back.


How far can we go?

Let's find out.

Enjoy!

Ok the ignore rule for  S E X Y Z is now in the heading as requested, remember A An and The do not count, that is they are not optional in giving a title.

We're working on N.....

Swallows and Amazons

Arthur Ransome, on MoseS

This is the first of a series of children's stories mostly dealing with sailing in the Lake District of England.  When I read them as a child, they made me want to learn to sail.  I never got a chance until a few years ago, when I finally took some sailing lessons.  Now my metal hip and stiff knees are a bit clunky for it, but at least I got a taste.  I reread some of the books a few years ago.  They are a bit childish, but read well, and the sailing is still good.
