BOOK TALK Another Silly Game Part23Join LibraryThing to post. This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
Da Rules: 1. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title. 2. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the"). 3. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty." 4. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page. 5. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can. 6. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an html link.7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only. Here is my play: The American Citizen's Manual by Worthington Chauncey Ford 7LynnBJul 8, 2009, 2:52pm 
How the Scots Invented the Modern World: The True Story of How Western Europe's Poorest Nation Created Our World & Everything In it by Arthur Herman. Read in 2004.
#4 of course you do. chuckle

OK, I'm either dense or blind. Somebody please tell me how #7 spins off of #6. I don't see any repeated words. If I am correct, I'm going back to #6 with: The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs. Haven't read it but I gave it as a Christmas gift. If I'm wrong, mea culpa. 12CariolaJul 8, 2009, 9:22pm
OK, I'm blind! I went over and over it and never saw the connection. Sorry!
I see Schmerguls has played off of Catch-22, so I will erase my word.

An Equal Music by Vikram Seth. Read for a book club, but not my favourite book. I was wondering how we'd get past "Catch-22" since that, according to the rules, should be treated as one word. Thank you, Schmerguls! 24calmJul 9, 2009, 9:39am
Equal RitesI'm sorry about Catch-22, I forgot the rules, glad someone got around it. 26nhlsecordEdited: Jul 9, 2009, 10:59am
Voice of Hope by David Feintuch . Try not to get fond of his characters, just like the people on Honor Harrington's ships. But otherwise, very involving stories.

I'll pass... 49ejj1955Jul 9, 2009, 7:25pm
Death at Devil's Bridge by Robin Paige. OMG, it's one I've actually read, and recently, too! >47 Thanks, DirtPriest (interesting user name!), I think I have two trilogies in my TBR pile. I'll move them up the queue. 51DirtPriestEdited: Jul 10, 2009, 12:12am
The Devil's Day by James Blish The Dragoonlance books are much more enjoyable to me now than when I first read them years ago. 54ejj1955Edited: Jul 10, 2009, 1:06am
By the Sword by Mercedes Lackey. Fantasy with a kick-ass female mercenary as lead character.
Haroun and the sea of Stories, by Salman Rushdie
I do not see how #36 correctly responds to #35: "self-determination" is NOT the same word as "self-made" Tsk-tsk. And I admit that I did not note that "Catch-22" did not correctly respond to its predecessor, since I was so eager to see how we would avoid THE END because nothing would respond to Catch-22, I feared. The Postman Always Rings Twice, by James M. Cain (read 2 Oct 1998) 61CariolaEdited: Jul 10, 2009, 11:01am
60> I wondered about that. Hyphenated words ARE words in themselves. You Only Live Twice by Ian Fleming
#62 moibib this sounds like a marvelous book. sadly, it's not available in audio that i can find. too tarsome.

This message has been deleted by its author.
does #67 correctly follow #66? i think it was a response to my #64.
what's the preference for this game? just accept an incorrect response and continue on or go up to the previous correct one? not like the fate of the world depends on it. i'm probably just being overly rule-bound. and I'm pretty much a newbie so. . . 69LynnBEdited: Jul 10, 2009, 12:40pm
we must have posted at the same time! I will step aside...ignore my post (#67).
The best thing that happens is that moibiblio or schmerguls sometime find a title that ties all the slip ups togtether!
@68, I posted something different to what's in #66 and #67 would've been ok with following on from that. The only problem was that jennieg posted marginally before me so mine was then wrong. I edited my post and chose a title that followed the new post and while I was doing that LynnB posted. 79CariolaEdited: Jul 10, 2009, 2:50pm
(Ahem--hyphenation issue in 78? See #60 & 61.) I had to go to Amazon to find a combination title: Mountain Path by Harriette Louisa Simpson Arnow 80jenniegJul 10, 2009, 2:56pm
>79 Well, there are no hyphens on the cover of my copy or in the Wikipedia article . . . 81CariolaJul 10, 2009, 3:08pm
That's my point. Look above: "Seven-Step" is the word. Your title word is "Seven."
My book does not have "Seven Step" hyphenated, on the cover or the title page. 87jenniegEdited: Jul 10, 2009, 6:11pm

Letters to a Young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke
Double Play, by Harold Morrow Sherman read when I was in sixth grade--the touchstone for the title is wrong, but i don't know what I can do about that. i think it is great that this silly game is so active. (Did you notice that #65 played on a one letter word ("I")-no rule against that though one time we talked about banning two-letter words, but did not.... 100mirrordrumEdited: Jul 11, 2009, 10:14am
#97 i had no idea that gentile and gentle have the same etymological root from L. gentilis. mahvelous, dahling.
The Spring of the Ram by the incomparable Dorothy Dunnett. BTW for #77-83 above. My copy of the book at #77 has "seven-step" on the cover and the title page. 105CariolaJul 11, 2009, 12:24pm
Oops, we posted simultaneously. Good thing we both choose "Spring"!
Amazon lists about 10 editions of the book (77-83), and only one old hb title does not have the hyphen.
Wife of Moon by Margaret Coel. Nice mystery series set in the US southwest.
Fun! How about The Captain's Wife by Douglas Kelley. I haven't had the pleasure of reading it yet. 116ejj1955Edited: Jul 11, 2009, 5:43pm

These High Green Hills by Jan Karon. I read the series about 10 years ago, and enjoyed them very much even though I'm not religious.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. One of the best books I've read this year. Going to start on the sequel today.
Well, somebody has to do this: #134 does not corectly respond to #133 in that "Pound" is not the same word as "158-pound" The Girl in the House of Hate, by Charles and Louise Samuels (read 4 Jan 1955 - re-read 11 Aug 1962)
Maybe we need to add a rule above regarding hyphenation. It seems to me that if you can't add an "s," you shouldn't be able to add or delete a hyphen. Girl in a Blue Dress by Gaynor Arnold. On my TBR list. 173LynnBJul 13, 2009, 12:33pm
Negotiating a Way of Life by Ignatius E. LaRusic. On my wish list.
