    Ok - this is a "game" that seems to have caught on ridiculously well on the Phantom Fm board..

    its a great way to get one's post count up..

    most of you probably know the rules but here goes anywhoo..


    it'll start with... the author's name and then the book - but one of the words in the title of the book will be in bold and then the next person has to post the name of a book (plus author) and use the bold word from the previous post in the title..

    there is a minimum of 2 words to each book so you can't use something like "Atonement" or "Shame" etc...


    Ok - i hope this catches on -

    ill post one to start it off..

    ok....a little confusion has arisen here...

    Lolth... you can take any word from the previous post - you have to put the word you took in bold...


    so it should have been -


    Salman Rushdie - The Ground Beneath Her Feet
    Ed Regis - Virus Ground Zero

    and then the next one might be:

    Andy McNab - Bravo Two Zero

    etc
    etc


    so...lets try again...

    Andy McNab - Bravo Two Zero

    What's the point in getting your post count up? You won't get special magical powers you know.

    Love in the time of cholera by Garcia Marquez

    not that original but it's all I could think of apart from French books with "bon" in the title!

    And yes, you do get magical fairy-type powers when your count exceeds 45,654 posts, a lepreachán told me:)

    by Ian Watt

    Found this on Amazon, phew!

    P.S: This is supposed to be based on the title, not on the author, though.
