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.

My apology for the misspelling in #281. When I recorded the book in my record back in 1945 I spelled the title correctly and did not notice it was spelled incorrectly on my computer list. The reason for that is not worth explaining, but it wasn't my doing except for not noticing the misspelling.

#2 Inre your misspelling in #281 of the last game. Let's see. 2011 minus 1945 means you read the book almost sixty-six years ago. No apologies are necessary. Keep reading and keep playing; we'll excuse your senior moments.
But I DO need to apologize for not playing on the most recent correct post!

I just re-read the rules at the top, and it says things like "the book cited" and "If you have read the book". I have always taken that to mean that we were to use book titles only.
However, it never says that song titles can't be used.
Help us mirrordrum, you're our only hope!

#72-73 While the suggested rules don't specifically limit the title to a book, it does infer it, and most people would agree that it should be the title of a book. jmho.
