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. No repeats on current thread.
9. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.
10. 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.

I thought #187 was wrong since it violated Rule 5 "spelled exactly the same". "Color" does not equal "colour" so how can "garten" equal "garden"?
Whatever. Playing on #2:

you're right, 187 was wrong but it started anew with Eden - so everything's perfect. Thanks everybody for playing on.

A suggestion- If you post in a language other than English, it would be helpful to provide an English translation so that those of us who are not multilingual can continue to participate in the game.
9paulstalder
I would suggest something else (as well): I try to make the touchstones work. so whenever I give a German etc. title you can click on the title, move to 'Editions' and see the titles of the same work in other languages (if there are, that is ;)). That provides you with the title in the other language which is often not a literal translation. That's how I check out other peoples' reading tips (if they talk about a book in their mother tongue).
You may also take the (foreign) word you want to play on and make a search in LT and so get other titles with the word (and it doesn't matter if you know the word or not).
