Another Silly Game Part 36

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.

#41 Roland,

"You" in place of "u" would violate Rule 5:
The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title....

I'm glad no one played on "u" because then we'd be arguing whether "u" was a word or not. The way it it used in the title, All U Can Eat, I would say yes.

A treatise containing the practical part of fortification. In four parts. Illustrated with twenty eight copper plates by John Muller

More words to work from, many of which were included in my dictionary.

Cape Cod: Illustrated Edition of the American Classic by Henry David Thoreau.

"..... weʻd be arguing whether "u" was a word
or not . . . .. I would say yes."

I also would say "u" IS a word, and I agree that in this case "you" is a word that would "violate (a) rule", because itʻs not the SAME word as "u".

A Place in the Woods by Helen Hoover

read the series some years ago. just looked and they've added it to NLS recorded books since last i looked so i can revisit it. oh goody. :)

#339 roland, i don't think we can use tv series in this. sometimes wish we could. however, there are a lot of actual murder, she wrote books by donald bain. just fyi.

. . . use tv series . . . . . wish we could (#344)

Right, I've even read a couple of the Bain (and Fletcher?) books, but I couldn't think of a title.

So, if the last correct book was A Place in the Woods, I'll submit: Little House in the Big Woods

The Big Rock Candy Mountain
by Wallace stegner

the black mountain by Rex Stout

reread this summer. Nero Wolfe tiptoeing around on Tsernagora in Montenegro. hah!

first read when i was a teenager, iirc. that would have been in the '50s. have read many, many times since.

To Mirrordrum:

Thanks for the note on the "Murder she Wrote" series.

AND for the title The Black Mountain by Rex Stout; I have been looking for a Stout novel where Nero Wolfe leaves NYC, particularly one where he goes to his native Montenegro.

"Montenegro", b t w is Italian FOR "Tsenogora." They both mean "Black Mountain".

Light on a Mountain by Gerald Warner Brace

A Light in the Window by Jan Karon - read in 1997

The Sign in Sidney Brusteinʻs Window
by Lorraine Hansberry

#349 you wrote: "Montenegro", b t w is Italian FOR "Tsenogora." They both mean "Black Mountain".

yep, they do. and 'Nero' means black in italian and another name for Tsernagora is 'mt. Lovchen.' in the novel over my dead body, one of the characters is named 'Carla Lovchen' and has a significant role. another marvelous NW/AG novel and should be read prior to the black mountain.

If the South had Won the Civil War
by Mackinlay Kantor

I scanned this, decades ago; didn't read it through.

He is also the author of Andersonville on the notorious Confederate prison camp, and Missouri Bittersweet (non-fiction) which has a depressing episode on a lynching in which the victim is burned to death.
