On LibraryThing site this is a game I'm currently participating in - just five titles with a linking word e.g.-
A Far Cry from Kensington by Muriel Spark
Cry the Beloved Country by Alan Paton
No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy
The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway
Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys
Does some sort of copyright apply. Thee are some good parlour games on that site.

A game's a game as far as I can see, chuntzy! (Unless it's Scrabble, of course, and then you enter all sorts of minefields...)
I don't see a problem in using this so I've moved it to Games and Links. What do you want to call it so we can change the title?

Pity the links are imperfect (men > man...) Especially given that it's not difficult to find men... I mean "men"... ;)

I think all the games I have started were filched from other sites (usually Ship of Fools). I doubt that many, if any, originated there, but I think I have acknowledged my source for each one.

This appears to be Five Book Chain Reaction (http://www.bookgrouponline.com/forum/showthread.html?t=3099), which meg has now found and moved to the games area, so that seems the best place to play it.
