	Ugh I tried "The Prince" so many times, convinced that that was the answer :)

	Great quiz. :)

	"Vir" and not "Homo" should probably be used as the word for "Men".

	I really wish that we learned Latin in school.

	Regulus means 'little king' or just prince. So there should be another diminutive to get to 'little prince'. I'm just sayin'.

	Great quiz. Isn't the latin word for rabbit "lepus"?

	I was hoping for Ulysses.

	The word order in "Brave New World" bothers me

	Et oritur is not how one would write "also rises" because "et" is a conjunction not an adverb.

	creative idea; would like to see some fine-tuning of the Latin here and there; really fun quiz

	i really liked this quiz but like others have said it needs some fixes in some of the latin. great idea though!

	I cannot believe that I didn't get I, Claudius. That's pretty embarrassing. But fun quiz

	I didn't know some of these books, but luckily I knew the Latin. Awesome quiz.

	Awesome, I failed to get the last book I read.

	The one-word clues were frustrating -- you either knew the word in Latin or you didn't. There was no possible way to puzzle it out.

	The Latin for prince is princeps, for the record...

	lulu_vohn:	Oct 22nd, 2010 at 22:00 GMT		1 point
	I frustrated myself with "Omnes Homines Regis" I got that it was all, men, and king but I couldn't manage to figure out a novel from that.

	Regulus for The Little Prince is correct! The book already exists as a translation in Latin and that is its title: http://www.amazon.com/Regulus-Latin-Antoine-Saint-Exup%C3%A9ry/dp/0156014041/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287785478&sr=8-1

	I liked that. I would have liked a bit more time to tease out the meaning of maleficient, for instance, from my brain

	@jshep: although they are similar, it's not exactly the same animal. "Lepus" is the hare (Fr. lièvre, It. lepre, Sp. liebre, all stemming from the accusative "leporem"), and "cuniculus" is the rabbit (It. coniglio, Sp. conejo).

	"Et" does not mean "also", it means "and". If i remember correctly, also is "quoque" i think

	kwijiborjt:	Oct 23rd, 2010 at 02:52 GMT		6 points
	Et does mean also. It's a common short form of etiam. Regulus does mean the little king.

	Yay for my second published quiz! And when criticizing my Latin, you should keep in mind that there are always multiple ways to translate any phrase.

	I am confused and dismayed over the absence of Harry Potter in a literature quiz.
