My #90 has never been correctly played on as #91 violates Rule 5, to wit:
. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title, e.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes," and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."
So of course "verses" is not the same as "verse."
next play should be on #90 since I should not play on my own post.

Honor Thy Father by Gay Talese
> rainpebble : Jeffrey Archer's collection of short stories are intriguing to read , similar to the short stories in nature/style by Roald Dahl.
>bookwoman: One's lifetime is very fast and short as compared to those who have lived in the biblical period. I think diseases and worries have decreased a span of mankind on earth. There must be no sweat over small things , imperfections, not meeting our goals/objectives in our lives, all things must happen and this is all really about life. Life is full of failures and successes, and we can't be a winner all the times, and most of the time, we lose.
