Seth, I was almost brought to tears. That was beautiful....I too want to thank everyone who participates. I added this thread to the group just for fun. I had seen it on other websites before, and it never really seems to pick up or go anywhere. And I thought it was a really cool idea! So it really makes me smile to see people like Seth - who kicks ASS at this- and Patrick - who reads the most strangely titled books Ive ever seen- go head to head, and humore little ole me and my cheating/title searching ways, just to remain somewhat in the game!
Knock em dead, and like Seth says, everything is Editable....(is that even a word?) so hop in and get messy with the rest of us!
-- sorry to steal your thunder Seth!---
I have enjoyed this thread as well. It added many titles to my list of books I want to read now and forced me to dredge up some titles I had not thought about in a long time. Good work everyone.
I pretty much only read non-fiction. I think all of these fiction titles that everyone else posted are really strange, and I can't imagine what those books are all about.So is this game over now?
Good grief I hope its not over!Dangerous Enchantment - Jean Hager
The Dangerous Lives of Alter Boys- Chris Fuhrman
The Boy Next Door -- Meg Cabot
