//starbox, The Neon Bible is very different -- just as good, though. It hardly seems to have been written by the same author. It's a bit sad.//

Not sure of the rule here: can I use

or does the title have to begin with the actual number 6??

//It usually begins with the last letter of the number, which would be n in this case.

2716. An Empress in Exile: My Days in Doorn, by Empress Hermine (read 7 Mar 1995)
This is by the Kaiser's second wife, married when he was in exile in Holland. So she was never an Empress, since he was no longer an Emperor when she married him. But she was a pushy character and called herself what she never was.

Bookwoman247, the last letter in #77 is N, not M. So no one yet has played correctly on #77. (I suppose someone might call a town Doom, but it might not encourage people to want to live there.)

I found this an absorbingly interesting book, telling of the author's time alone in Antartica. It lives in my memory still, over 30 years after I read it.
