LaLaLa Laura  (laurabhoffman) Let's play an ongoing game. Name a classic book to start off with and the following person names a book that begins with the last letter of the previous book, not including articles such as "the" or "a". For example one person would start with "The Age of InnocencE" and the following person would say "East of EdeN". The following person would then have to name a book that begins with the letter N. Let's please stick with classics such as we would read in our group. Let's begin.

I'll start with the first book our group began with. The Perks of Being a Wallflower ...

LaLaLa Laura  (laurabhoffman) we got two responses! to leave off of what Angie said I would have to name a book that begins with E. to go with Vicky's response, I would name a classic that begins with Y.

I'll do both.
Ellen Foster by Kay gibbons and
The yellow Wallpaper

both novels end in the letter R so the next person must name a classic that begins with the letter R.

who's next?
