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.

Refer Msg (102)," Lloyd" was used in the title which was other name of the previous posting's author name.Do you allow this? "Lloyd" was not a word from the previous book title.

Youʻre right that "Lloyd" is not eligible to play on, because itʻs part of the authorʻs name. But I read lt as part of the title (and that the hyphen is part of the title, too. Actually, the hyphen was used instead of the usual "by..." phrase.)

The Bicycle Thief / Ladri di Biciclette
"Other editions use the plural "...ThieVES" ( a translation of the Italian "Ladri"); I was looking for a singular as the above has (for the English, not for the Italian); (Remembering the strictness of the Rules about identical words, I had already rejected Genetʻs Journal du Voleur, because its English version has "ThiefʻS..." rather than "Thief".
"Ladri / ʻThieves" is a sharper title than "THE Bicycle THIEF", because the
irony of the story is that
the victim of a theft, i in desperation becomes, in
the end, a thief himself.
So the title refers to both the unfound original thief AND
his victim.
