Another silly game to play.

Book titles using a word from the prior title......example

The Education of Little Tree by, Forrest Carter

reply could be:

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by, Betty Smith

Then:

Brooklyn Follies by, Paul Auster

and on..................

I will start with the title "Snow Falling on Cedars by, David Guterson........

A Shadow of All Night Falling by Glen Cook.

Wouldn't the next book have to start with the word "Cedars"?

NO.....the next title need only contain one word from the previous title.

(of course those are only my rules ;>)

Up in the Old Hotel by Joseph Mitchell

Well, I read this September 15, 2007, but I only started keeping track of books I read in a year in 2001, and dates read in October 2005, so I couldn't do what you suggest. And my guess is many people don't keep track of dates.
