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.

In the last game, ThrillerFan and I had a discussion on and off list concerning the use of sub-titles. We propose that Rule 6 be changed to better clarify their use.

To PaperbackPirate:
Isaac Asimov was an occasional casual user of the
library I worked in during the 1950s, 1960s and early 70s. Most of the Faculty members who used the library were in the College of Liberal Arts. Asimov, however was in the School of Medicine -- teaching Biology, I guess, not anything closely related to his fiction topics. He may have been the only one from that School who was a regular patron of the "main" U. library, i.e. the Liberal Arts Library.
He (about 1954-1955) was reading all the bound volumes of Time Magazine. (We had these back to the beginning of the magazine,
which I think was about 40 years earlier than the 1950s. Weʻre talking huge volumes here -- 13 issues, 1/4 of a year to a volume. No way, in those days to "Google" them or anything. They were of course non-circulating, but an exception was made for Asimov, and he did take them home, one at a time, and then return them.
When asked by someone (not me) if he really read them from cover to cover, he said well, most but not all of the contents: he might skip, say the financial sections. Since most of his fiction takes place in the future, itʻs amazing that he wanted to get a clearer idea of what was happening in all areas of American life during the past 4 decades. (At least all areas that Time would cover.) Other than Time, his main interest was the New Book Shelf, which had a selection of books in all fields. So he was both a browser and, in his own way, a researcher of General Culture.
A heavy-handed joke he made: Brandishing a new book on Game theory, he said, ʻThese books on Game Theory never have anything about MY favorite game!" Someone (not me) pretended not to get that he was joking, and asked, "What IS your favorite game?" He said, "Well, thereʻs a lot of TOPology in it."

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.
We propose that Rule 6 be changed to read:
