Here Are The Suggested Rules of the Game:

1. Please play on the most recent correct post.

2 Please verify that no one else has posted while you were preparing your post.

3. The title of the book cited must have one word, at least, which is the same as a word in the previous title.

4. The repeated word in the new title must be other than an article ("a", "an", or "the").

5. The repeated word must be spelled exactly as the word was spelled in the previous title. E.g., "prune" is not the same word as "prunes", and "loyal" is not the same word as "loyalty."

6. The repeated word must be in the title as shown on the title page of the book--not, e.g., part of the series name unless such is part of the title as shown on the title page.

7. A hyphenated word is one word, not two: e.g., "thunder-clouds"; and if used must be repeated in full, not in part only.

8. If you have read the book it would be informative that you so indicate and tell when you read it, if you can.

9. Try to use Touchstones. Put brackets around the title and double brackets around the author. If Touchstones don't work, try using an html link.

Read sometime in 2006/2007.

Fictionalized historical reconstructions of the lives of various social classes in central Asia from 750-1000AD. Interesting way of introducing a region and time far removed from western experience.

To Schmerguls (#165)

Whatever reading I have done of Spenglerʻs magnum opus was done in the 1950s, possibly the 1960s, too.

It took the form of doing more than just scanning it, but not reading it from cover to cover.

I remember arguing with a Fascist-leaning unpublished writer who was something of a Spenglerian. I asked how do we know (if we are somehow paralleling the Roman Empireʻs history) that we arenʻt, say, at the stage of the Punic Wars, and not at the Teutoburger Wald Battle (which at the earliest is where Spenglerians say we were --as of the 1950s.) He scoffed at that admittedly somewhat negative idea and said, "No, weʻre definitely moving into the decadence."
