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!

I didn't know that Fred Hoyle wrote any SciFi. I have one of his books on astronomy.

I'm going to look up Titus Andronicus. I like Roman history.

Hoyle's best book, IMO, is "The Black Cloud". It's more astronomical.

Seven Little Australians

Ethel Turner

on Simple GeniuS

this is a classic Aussie children's novel about a family living in Sydney around 1880. It was published in 1894 and has been in print continuosly ever since. Old, rare and good editions of Ethel Turner's novels are highly prized and bring very high prices at auctions all around the country. Wish I had a few.

The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyan

(Written by a Persian Poet 1048-1123. This book was all the rage with N.Y. adolescents of my generation. We all owned copies and walked around with them to show how "hip" we were. Oh, those were the days. Or were they?)
