Another Silly Game Part 44

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.

My play:

Don't : a manual of mistakes & improprieties more or less prevalent in conduct and speech by Oliver Bell bunce

Conduct Unbecoming by Dale Dye

Code of Conduct by Kristine Smith

Code of Honor by Harold Coyle

A code for the collector of beautiful books by Maurice Robert

The Collector of Hearts: New Tales of the Grotesque by Joyce Carol Oates

Read around 7 years ago.

Ok, item 1 says to reply to the last correct post. Other than the article "The", 7 doesn't mimic a word in 6, and neither does 8.

Therefore, based off post 6:

The Cat Who Had 14 Tales by Lillian Jackson Braun

Read it while I was in highschool (early 90s).

>9 ThrillerFan: thanks and well done, thrillerfan. i apologize for my #7. i did check but i guess #6 hadn't loaded yet.

currently reading.

The City of Florence: Historical Vistas and Personal Sightings by R. W. B. Lewis

New Pennacook folks : a historical record of the town of Rumford and the people who lived here by Stuart Martin.

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

alcottacre, I saw that movie when I was a child and later found it again on an old-movie channel and recorded it. I'd love to have the book and found it on amazon. Am thinking of ordering a used one if I can locate one in good condition. Seems like a used one would be more fitting. :-)

edit: The book is Three Came Home by Agnes Newton Keith, mentioned in the last thread.

edit-2: Well, this is strange. The book is listed as being by Claudette Colbert. I believe this is incorrect. She starred in the movie.

edit-3: This is even stranger. Now it lists the correct author. Gremlins?

The Brave Cowboy by Edward Abbey

Brave New World Revisited by Aldous Huxley

Darkness at Dawn by Cornell Woolrich

The Memory of Mankind: The Story of Libraries Since the Dawn of History by Don Heinrich Tolzmann

The Memory Church by Tim Sebastian

DeltaQueen50 and Schmerguls -- I think I was about 10 when I saw the movie the first time, and it really stuck with me. When I found it and recorded it from the television, I saw things I hadn't noticed at that age. I need to get out the tape (Yes, it's been that long ago. lol) and watch it again.

The Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments and Other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church: Together With the Psalter or Psalms of David According to the Use of the Episcopal Church by the Episcopal Church - one of my favorite books.

I am ignoring #40 since it does not pretend to be relevant.

#28 (Mirrordrum) Your post led me to read the Wikipedia article on Koestler. He lived many places but the only thing that puts him in California apparently is that he did a lecture tour there. Is that when he lived on your street? or is the Wikipedia article incomplete in regard to where he all lived?
