I've decided to create a game. This is how it is played. To start, you need to read fictional/non fictional "work" (can be essay, poetry, novel, short story, etc.) by an "Author". The next read needs to be from an Author whose last name begins with the last letter of the previous Author. At the same time, mark the letters of the alphabet down. Cross off the letter of the alphabet of your Author's last initial. Try to work through and cross off each letter of the the entiralphabet. If a last name produces a letter you've already had then move to the next available letter on your alphabet list. The game ends when you've worked your way through the alphabet. Here's an example, the first Author I'm going to read an essay from is Isaac Asimov. This would lead to my next Author whose last name needs to begin with V. If I had already read an Author whose last name began with V then I would move on to W, if that letter was still available. Should make for some fun searches in the library, online as well as, interesting, varied reads. OK....let's begin. Feel free to start with your own Author or play along with me and start with Isaac. I'll comment as I read along. It's not a race. Take time to research, read and review the work you are about to read.
