Mister Pip, the last letter is "p" and not "m". The game is being played on the last letter.

Apology to the poster, my mistake .in fact the entry made is in compliance to the game's rules by coincidence. Join the game.Flexibility in the game should be practiced for the puzzle.

There has been no correct response to my #192, since articles (a, an, and the) do not count. So we need a title which starts with A, ignoring titles which start with An or A unless the next word starts with A

Here is the rule, which was set out at the beginning of the thread to which this thread is the successor:

How to play: Enter a book title which begins with the last letter of the previous entry. Ignore articles such as "A", "An" & "The". Please check your entry when you post it and try and use an original title (you can check conversations to see if a book has been used before). Use Touchstones where possible.
