Another Silly Game Part 28

1. Please play on the most recent correct post.

2. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.

3. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the").

4. 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."

5. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page.

6. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.

7. 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.

8. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.

9. Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.

My play:
Johnsoniana; or, Supplement to Boswell: Being anecdotes and sayings of Dr. Johnson, by Samuel Johnson

The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde

I noticed a few that used the plural of a word in place of the word in the last game but didn't say anything because I already have the reputation of being the World's Champion Picker of Nits. >;-)

The Legend of Nightfall by Mickey Zucker Reichert

Rumour at Nightfall by Graham Greene

allegedly a novel about the Spanish Civil War that Greene did not want to be included in his "Collected Works" (I never heard why). So, it is probably only in a few libraries that had a good collection of contemporary 1930s British fiction.

Does anyone know anything more than this about it?

Well-written, easily understood by a scientifically-challenged person like me. Some facinating studies of the personalities involved in various science stuff. Many cool things going on in the science game.

Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier
by Irwin Shapiro

The Call of the Wild, by Jack London.

I was supposed to read it for my "modern" American lit class, but I couldn't get myself to agree to. This author was considered safe and devoid of blasphemy by my tutor; she refused to discuss Mailer, Roth or even Salinger, on the grounds that they were filthy and talked a lot about "you know what". Eventually, she was asked to get an early retirement by massive majority voting and quite a few demonstrations outside the classrooms. You're welcome, Portnoy!

Drive, he Said by Jeremy Larner

Drive by James Sallis

The Marmot Drive* by John Hersey

*I read it about 1962; the "drive" of the title ahas nothing to do with cars or roads. It was sort of an allegory of the "drive" by Sen. Joseph McCarthy in the previous decade against alleged Communists.

End of the Drive by Louis L'Amour

The End of the Road* by John Barth

*I read this in the 70s. Not recommended. I admire Barth in spite of this, not because of it.
