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.

How far can we go?

Let's find out.

Enjoy!

Life with Mother

by Clarence Day

An oldie, but goodie.

On Roosevelt's mother: a friend of mine visited Hyde Park, and saw the bedroom arrangement after Roosevelt married. He had a big, ornate bedroom. But Elinor's bedroom was a converted closet, with no windows and barely enough room for her bed, leading off of his mothers room. Roosevelt would have had to go through his mothers room to get to Elinor's bedroom!!!!?!

How did they manage to have all those children?

!?

Pedlin, did you notice the author of the first knitting book (post 199)?

I didn't notice, but went back to post 199 and didn't think it was about knitting. Am I confused?
