	For those of you who didn't associate Jay Gatsby with "The Great Gatsby," I'm dying to know: what book did you think he was from?

	Since you do not include "the" when alphabetizing, it would be nice if you didn't include "A" either, making the answer, "Game of Thrones, A." I knew that one immediately, but it took me forever to find it.

	Nice quiz. I think it would've been a little more fun/challenging to use characters whose names aren't in the book titles and to keep it to one book per author, but I enjoyed it!

	A bit dispiriting that more people know a character from Twilight than Miss Havisham, Kurtz or Captain Ahab but there you go. Cracking quiz.

	The sad thing is that a lot of them I got not from the book, but because of the movie (or in the case of Les Mis, the musical).

	That picture of Winnie the Pooh really lulled me into a false sense of security on this quiz.

	Atticus Finch, Clarice Starling, I know those names, they're buried somewhere, buried too deeply. Then there are the books you do know and get 'trigger' happy and click the wrong one - so missing Captin Ahab. Sporcleitis methinks?

	Agree with ESK about perhaps one book per author. Also this is nit-picky, but the actual title is Moby-Dick (hyphenated). But that's like 0.5/10 in terms of quiz-making priorities, and all-in-all this was a very good quiz.

	Didn't do so well, but was so glad to see Game of Thrones on here!

	So annoyed! I knew them all, but my hair-trigger computer mouse went and clicked on one early and so I got it "wrong!"

	Wow, I never noticed how many books I never read.

	Once again, the greatest novel ever written finishes last in name recognition on a Sporcle quiz! Must I be assailed with fresh travesty each time I venture into literary territory on this site?

	Gotta love The Wife of Bath. She so dirty.

	...how on Earth is Lolita the worst answered?!

	As someone who have never read Winnie-the-Pooh books in the original language, my first instinct was that Eeyore had to be a Tolkien character. The estranged brother of Eowyn, perhaps. I would struggle to get any further off the mark, even if I tried so deliberately!
