Some Reflections On Genius: And Other Essays by Russell Brain
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.

A question for Roland:
Does adding an apostrophe to butchers create a different word, or do you think the word remains the same? Butchers is a plural noun. Butchers' is a plural possessive noun. See rule 5: The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title.

241rolandperkins
There has been unquestioned use of a plural possessive to match an ordinary plural in this thread. But, o. k., I didnʻt look back at the rules. Iʻll delete 239. and the next player should play on 238.
243moibibliomaniac
Thanks Roland! You weren't wrong, but I didn't know if you were right either! Does punctuation added to a word change the semantics of a word?
