Renaissance Fair[e] by Norton and Rabe

Roadside Picni(c) - Arkady and Boris Strugatsky

Bah! Curses Raven!

However, not only is this a great book, its also a Tarkovsky (Solaris) Film AND the spiritual father of the video game S.T.A.L.K.E.R. All because I wanted to make sure I spelled Strugatsky right.

Earthligh(t) by Arthur C. Clarke

The Time Machin(e) by H.G. Wells

Erago[n] - Paolini

Damn, knew I should have picked a few more Van Vogt books along the way <sigh>

It's a competition? I just keep waiting for someone to pick a book where the title ends in Q!

Hell!!! I could do Q <g>

let see ...

Quest for the Future by A. E. VanVogt
Quest for the Well of Souls by Jack L Chalker
Question of Time, A by Fred Saberhagen

Easy peasy. The trick is to find a title that =ends= with Q <chuckle>

Quag Keep too!

But, you still need to give a title that starts with.... N

Naw ... I decided to bow out since I can't keep track of what has gone before <sigh>

Same with me... don't have time to keep going back and see what's already been played.

Don't drop out guys. It isn't a problem if you use a title a second time. Or if the general consensus is that this thread is too unwieldy, we can start a new one.

For anyone who does care here's the list to date....
