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.

Face Value by Ron Powers, political novel; satirical of the media.
Read in Tonga, ca. 1984; a movie, same title, came to Tonga within the next 2years. , starring Jerry Lewis in a non-comedy role. Disappointingly, it
had a completely different story line; no connection with the Powers novel.

//eta to get the touchstone to work, i had to put the bracket thingy after 'God,', however i've included the full title of the book per amazon.com just for fun. the touchstone for the author simply gives the title all over again so i italicized it instead of using the touchstone. and that's all i have to say about that.
