Okay, all you book lovers, here's a so-called parlor game called simply "List Five Books" in which players have to list five books (I said "simply"!) based on a particular keyword(s) they are given. I can't say I'd be able to do this myself, but I bet some of you out there could do. It crossed my path because one of the players used Wayne Koestenbaum's awesome book The Queen's Throat.
The version I came across uses for its keywords, "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes."
So for example, one player gave:
The Four-Chambered Heart, by Anaïs Nin
The Queen's Throat: Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of Desire, by Wayne Koestenbaum
What's Bred in the Bone, by Robertson Davies
The Eye of Jazz, by Herman Leonard
On Foot, by Adam Nicolson
Cool idea, no?
