Lori (tnbbc) This may be a bit overdone on other booksites, but I'm stealing it anyway and giving it a try here. It always seems to build fast.....

The purpose of this thread is to list a title and author. Then someone else must list a new title using a word from the title before, or a title from the same author.

Please try to avoid using words such as "a, the, and..." to add titles.

Let the game begin.

I'll start.


Death of an Ordinary Man - Glen Duncan

Robert | 7 comments Death of a Lady's Man - Leonard Cohen
(This is one of Cohen's prose works - not to be confused with his album "Death of a Ladies Man" - don't know why the spelling is different...)

Barry | 5 comments Paradise Lost - John Milton
At a guess to answer the question at the beginning of this string. I think the spelling of "Lady's" would be a possessive pronoun and singular while ladies would be an adjective and plural. Parts of speech were never my strong suit so it wouldn't surprise me if I'm wrong.
