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 are there any other words or letters you'd like to make optional so we can put them in the heading?

Remember the articles THE AN and A are not counted as beginning a title, so just ignore the word THE as in (The) Sun Also Rises and use the S of Sun.

I would like to make the same letters optional that were optional in Rubbish. I just can't remember the letters. Then, we could use more titles. I am really just going by memory.

PatH · « **Reply #426 on:** March 08, 2009, 10:22:58 AM »

I vote for the time-tested group from Rubbish. S, E, X, Y, Z.

It's not a Pat rule, though. It was already in place when I started playing Rubbish.

PatH : Gormanghast is a bit too weird for me too - my son liked it though....takes all sorts.
And I must say you just stole my thunder - Silmarillion was to be my next S.

Hi Hats - SEXY Z seems to be the popular choice.
