A colleague heard about this on the radio and it sounds great fun. You have to think of a book title that be changed into another potential book title by removing the final letter:

Eg - Of Mice And Me
Three Men In A Boa
The Sound And The Fur
etc

Can anybody think of more? Personally I would love to read Three Men In A Boa!

I like Black Beaut. The Australian edit, obviously!

The Satanic Verse (abridged)

London Field (also abridged)

And the dull brown sci-fi classic, Dun.
