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.

#122 Hi Mirrordrum, not sure if you have ever seen Charlie Dimmock on TV, but she used to do a weekly gardening programme here in the UK, and allegedly had high viewing figures although it wasn't a particularly outstanding programme. Then I read that it had an abnormally high number of male viewers (when usually women were the biggest audience of gardening programmes). The reason - Charlie was quite busty and didn't wear a bra under her clingy T-shirts!!

The (original) Thomas Crown Affair
by Alan Trustman*
*Met screenwriter at a college reunion, 1977. LTʻs "Search" notwithstanding, youʻll never convince anyone from Harvard, Class of 1952 that anyone
but Alan Trustman wrote "Thomas Crown", although "Search" gives Pierce Brosnan(?!!) as the author -- meaning, no doubt, of the 1990s re-make.
