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!

There sure is lucky - Youth is the third in a trilogy - First one is Childhood then comes Boyhood. They're often shown as novels but they have a strong auto-biog element.

Patrick White -A writer you either love or love to hate but his superb prose always draws you in. He's the only Australian Nobel Laureate for Literature...plenty of others in other fields - time we had another in lit.

Genesee FeverR

by Carl Carmer.

Mr. Carmer was a folklorist who who wrote a number of books about the Genesse Valley and Hudson areas among others. His most famous book, however, is called Stars Fell on Alabama. I have been looking for his contributions to "The River Series", The Susquehanna and The Hudson. While I can order these from Columbia Press, I am still holding out for locating old editions in the used book stores. Genesee Fever is based on old history and folklore of the Genesee Valley when it was still considered frontier.

Hi,
I'd like to join in the game. Would have joined sooner if I knew you existed. Now that we have been introduced , I have two questions :
Do I have to go over all seven pages to write down which titles have been used? Is there a list somewhere?
I see names of books that were on page one -now on page seven.(The Yearling).I only read those two pages.
What are the rules about repeat?
I have never heard of "Rubbish". I played a game called "Geography" with the same idea.
Are non-fiction and biography allowed or just novels?

Welcome, Jude! We are very glad to see you here!

No to both, we're saying let's try not to repeat titles, but there are 40 posts on one page here, so let's at least keep to the last page and not repeat. If we can.

I see names of books that were on page one -now on page seven.(The Yearling).I only read those two pages.

We're trying not to.

There's no point in repeating names. The idea is to strain the brain, am loving the discussion here of the different books today.

Rubbish was a game we played on SeniorNet. ANY kind of book. Fiction non fiction biography, plays, poetry, anything between covers.

Welcome!

Hi Jude! Welcome to the game. It's so much fun. I hope I did the last post correctly. I chose the letter instead of the number. I read it in the header. Hope I didn't mix up the rule.

In Rubbish, we ignored SEXY. The S and E because we weren't allowed to repeat, and we ran out in every game. So this is not needed here. But X? We'll see if it comes up (HA, I have one).
