Here Are The Suggested Rules of the Game:
1. Please play on the most recent correct post.
2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.
3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.
4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a," "an," or "the").
5. 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."
6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown in a LT library listing, or on the title page of the book. A sub-title or a series name can be included if the sub-title or series name is included in the title of a LT library listing, or is printed on the title page of the book.
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.
8. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.
9. 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.

4404. West Point A Bicentennial History, by Theodore J. Crackel (read 18 Jan 2008)
The only way I know to be able to say when a book was read is to keep a record. One spends hours reading a book--does it not make sense to spend a minute to record when you read the book--and even better to spend five minutes telling yourself what you thought of the book, so a year from now you will recall the book and what it meant to you?

The American Muck Book; Treating of the Nature, Properties, Sources, History, and Operations of All the Principal Fertilisers and Manures in Common Use, With Specific Directions For Their Preparation, Preservation, and Application to the Soil and to Crops by Daniel Jay Browne
I think most people intend to read the books that they buy. I have read almost all the books in my library. And I could probably tell you what year I read it; but not the exact day I finished reading it. When I read it is unnecessary information. What I would like to improve upon is writing what I thought about the book I just read. To date, I've only left 55 reviews.

Journey Across Russia : the Soviet Union Today
