Here is a new idea. To start it off I have took a name of one my favorite books and changed one of the words to COMM.

(A easy one)

COMM, Ask Not.


1.. Must have more than one word in the title of book.
2.. Name of author
3.. First reply gets to go next.



EDITed to clarify.

Oh...one of my old D&D pals got this one...but I won't post seeing as I didn't know the answer myself :rolleyes: .

BTW are we meant to be sticking to sci fi and fantasy, or is that just coincedence?

One assumes that if no-one can guess your book you 'win'? In that case why not choose a book which only has a one-worded title?

Answer anyway you can. (Minus a Search Engine) :) Friends, relatives, aliens....doesn't matter.

As to books, any group will work.

example: Green COMM and Ham
example: COMM 451

Don't answer these two, they are for an example only.

:o That's what I get for posting late at night after having a late night previously. :rolleyes:
My bad.

EDIT-How about this: The COMM? Considering how many possibilities there are for this then maybe Weasel should make a rule preventing this one too.

ah well...I don't think he's that big outside England anyway... :rolleyes: :cool: :) I guess it can be our great way of rooting out those who got their answers off a search engine in the future...ask them what they think of the book :D ... so do I get another go?
