Book game

[janeite]

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!

Hi Janeite!
The Red Ten?

This is quite hard

One Big Damn Puzzle (almost same as real title)

Think I need to pace in front of some bookcases for a while!

Hello - I thought I might get a reply from you!

It's really hard isn't it? The only one I can think of at the moment is The Wee Free Me.

Oh and The Colour Of Magi - sticking to the Pratchett theme.

Great Expectation
Hard Time
Far from the Madding Crow

Far Form The Madding Crow was mentioned on the radio I think; it's fab!

Am still on TP at the mo - I rather like The Thief Of Tim.

Romeo and Julie suddenly sounds rather more common though

Oh and there was me thinking I'd been brilliantly inventive!

It's very hard!

Like one of those sunvisor strip things on a ford escort...

Of course, there's Jane Austen's indecisive "Emm"

The Road to Wigan Pie

The end of Mr.

Leak House

Animal Arm

"Emm" - love it! And I love the ones that create whole different connotations; "Julie, Julie wherefore art thou Julie" just doesn't sound the same does it?!

Animal Far
The Invisible Ma

Damn! I came running back from the bookcase to post Road to Wigan Pie thinking how clever I was

The Road To Wigan Pie is brilliant!

Meg - you take away the last letter, rather than the first - or that's what they did on the radio anyway. Pity, because Leak House sounds great, if rather smelly!

Sorry will have a rethink!
