Another Silly Game Part 47

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 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. 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.

No Villain Need Be by Vardis Fisher

This is not a post to continue the game, but instead, a question or three.

A book's title is that which is on the title page. So far, so good. When I post a title in one of the games, I search my library for a title. So far, so good. Now comes a question: What about when the title page doesn't contain the same information, such as "A Novel," that pops up in a search? I've noticed that many book titles in LT have extra words, according to the title page. So, what do we use? I haven't been checking my title pages, as by the time I found the book and looked, someone would probably have posted ahead of me.

Thanks for clarification.

I Am In Urgent Need of Advice by Josephine Lawrence

Oops! I posted to continue the game, after all!

Sit, Stay, Slay by Linda Johnston

#109 Boobalack,

Good point. The Library Thing listings of a search of your library should be good enough for this game. The suggested rules are guidelines.

In some LT listings, subtitles are listed, and in others they are not. That's life. There's no need to verify that the additional words are included on the title page of the book.

If need be, we can clarify Rule 6 even more:

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.

Yays? Nays?

Thanks. I vote yes. It would be easier that way.

I've often wondered why a book is listed as
"Title: A Novel," anyway. Most fiction works are novels, unless they are a collection of short stories or novellas.

Sounds good to me.

#112 ayup.

Slay Ride by Dick Francis

although the touchstone shows the title as hyphenated, it is not. the touchstone reference is incorrect.

Ride The Wind by Lucia St. Clair Robson. Currently reading.

And yes to #112

The Wind From Hastings by Morgan Llywelyn

D-Queen, have you read other books by Lucia St. Clair Robson? I liked all of them, especially Walk in My Soul.

#117 - Hi Boobalack - I have read and loved Walk In My Soul, and I am loving Ride The Wind as well. I have The Tokaido Road on my TBR shelves as well.

Sorry for the game interruption, please continue.

123 evidently played on 121; by timing, it
simultaneous with my 122;
Iʻll play on 123ʻs -t

Thucydides and Pindar by John Finley

The Pindar Diamond by Katie Hickman

#123 plays correctly on #122 but #124 doesn't seem to play on anything, which makes #123 the last correct play so I'm playing on #123

The Shambhala Dictionary of Buddhism and Zen by Shambhala

To thioviolight and mirrordrum (123, 126):

On looking at it again: Sorry, I somehow missed the"mythology" > "mythology of 122 > 123.

I must have been thinking of another gameʻs rules (last letter > first letter) when I said I would play
on the final -t of 123. To top it off, even that -t, wrongly played on, doesnʻt appear in the edited version of 123!

Was this any caveat to lay on us in the cool 70s, just when ev eything was calming down from the "mad" 60s?

Still, to my mind, it may well be Bellowʻs greatest novel.
