 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.

The Secret Archives of The Vatican by Maria Luisa AmbrosiniI played off of #82 as well, and someone else posted before me. But I lucked out because the word "secret" was used again. Everyone needs to check their posts to make sure no one else posted while you gathered your title. Message edited by its author, Jul 22, 2009, 11:04pm. The Golden Notebook by Doris Lessing.

Clarke, but with Gregory Benford as well Message edited by its author, Jul 23, 2009, 6:37pm. This message has been deleted by its author. Time Enough for Love by Robert Heinlein.

Message edited by its author, Jul 25, 2009, 4:21am. If no one can play on the words "bleak" and "midwinter" before 10:30, we should invoke the "six-hour rule," permitting the use of prepositions. Never heard of that rule? That's one of them there unwritten rules which allow the flow of the game to continue. Message edited by its author, Jul 25, 2009, 10:09am. a perfect spy by John Le Carré I'm right smack in the middle of the audiobook. Roosevelt: The Soldier of Freedom, by James MacGregor Burns (read 21 May 2006) (Pulitzer History prize in 1971)(National Book Award for history and biography in 1971) Actually, there is no rule against the use of prepositions. As the rules stand only articles are unusable. I know there has been murmuring against some two letter words, but the rules do not forbid them--you will note a while back a one-letter word "I" was used, without any objection. Soldier, Ask Not by Gordon R. Dickson. Part of the "Dorsai" sci-fi series that I really enjoyed many years ago. A Book of Ireland; with 52 Photographs
