Another Silly Game Part 42

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 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.

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

9. 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.

I'm playing off of the word "lecture" in the most recent correct post, #103.

(MY FW Dixon post was "incorrect" because #103 wasn't on the screen when I made it, and I was playing on the 4th word of #102.)

i'm not sure this counts since the 'Mrs' has no period following it but i thought i'd try and see what the ASBG mavens have to say about it. :)

The Impossible Friendship; Boswell and Mrs. Thrale by Mary Hyde Eccles

# 217
Technically, Mrs is "spelled" exactly as it is in the previous play. Just to avoid controversy, though, I'll play on "Mrs." from #216 or "Mrs" from #217.

Most bookseller listings and professional reviews refer to the title as "Mrs. Palfry at the Claremont." I don't know if the title is different on the title page.

On Another Man's Wound, by Ernie O'Malley (read 17 Jan 1999)

My comment on this book:
I have wanted to read this book ever since Aug 25, 1984, when I read Six Days to Shake an Empire and its author, Charles Duff, called On Another Man's Wound "the best account written by an actual participant" in the Irish revolt. O'Malley was a leader in the fight and some of his book is highly dramatic--torture, executions, etc. But much of the book dealt with his traipsing around Ireland organizing anti-British acts, and it was not super-interesting. I'd prefer a real history, not this type of personal narrative.
