	Howards End, no apostrophe. Very common mistake, but no less annoying.

	Detektor:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 05:33 GMT	14 points
	There are a whole lot of "the"s missing.

	Cluedo is the original (British) name for the game Clue. Clue is the American bastardization.

	Wow, I feel like an idiot. I kept trying "Blind Assassin" for the Bambi one. I see my Disney-induced childhood trauma still has me thinking Bambi's mom got jacked by someone a lot more sinister.

	@tvfan2: It's a portmanteau of "clue" and "Ludo" (another board game where players roll dice to race around the board). I guess they didn't think it was well enough known in the States.

	backguy:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 07:31 GMT	8 points
	This should also accept "Colour Purple". Great quiz!

	callmejordan:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 07:34 GMT	7 points
	Nice quiz! You really have some variety on here. Howards End? Lord Jim? I'm loving it!

	funseeker:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 07:39 GMT	7 points
	Many of these are not two-word works of fiction,as you have decided to omit the from the titles. Your choice does not, however, change the titles of the books.

	guesswho9121:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 07:51 GMT	3 points
	Can you change it so it accepts "Colour Purple" as well as the americanised spelling? i typed in colour purple and was really annoyed when it turned out to be right!

	LTH: Very fun quiz. Thanks. :)

	godpaul25:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 13:24 GMT	34 points
	When I take a quiz that is obviously made by a Brit, and the word "color" or "Harbor" etc don't work, I just add the "u" and not whine about it, knowing that's how they spell it. I also try "football" after trying soccer, and Cluedo for clue, and it's ok. I don't throw my hands up in the air and give up, saying "it didn't accept Pearl Harbour, I don't know what else to do". Weird

	For "lover of country", I knew it wasn't Jeff Foxworthy's "Redneck Games" but darned if I didn't give it a try. :)

	dominiquef:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 13:30 GMT	-3 points
	Thanks for including Atlas Shrugged!

	TheBiscuit:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 14:34 GMT	2 points
	Never having heard of "Lord Jim", but remembering Huck's raftmate, I sat there for more than a couple of uneasy seconds trying to figure out exactly what that clue was asking for.

	Scurra:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 14:50 GMT	-1 points
	I tried "Lucky Jim" first, before the right answer occurred to me. Some nice clues there, although I had never heard of "Tortilla Flat" before...

	tvfan2:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 14:50 GMT	-2 points
	@detektor, the fact that it has origins doesn't make it any less of a terrible name. I cringe every time I see "Cluedo" somewhere.

	TL333s:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 17:48 GMT	12 points
	You might want to make that "Lover of one's country", because I kept wondering who wrote a book called "Hillbilly Sports".

	Samawesome:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 18:22 GMT	10 points
	The Color Purple title doesn't have a u in it so it shouldnt be accepted

	redsxfenway:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 18:46 GMT	3 points
	I'm glad to see nobody has incorrectly commented that the title is "The Invisible Man."

	daisyap:	Jun 12th, 2010 at 22:14 GMT	-4 points
	Don't understand the marking down of some comments on here!

	kagomeshuko:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 01:56 GMT	6 points
	@redsxfenway There are two books, two different authors. One is "Invisible Man" the other is "The Invisible Man."

	kagomeshuko:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 01:59 GMT	4 points
	@redsxfenway After that comment, I knew I had to look up the exact information. Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison and The Invisible Man. A Grotesque Romance. by H. G. Wells

	ChemicalToilet:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 04:57 GMT	12 points
	@backguy, Alice Walker wrote a book called "The Color Purple." There is no U in the word color in the title of her book. If she wanted to spell color with a U, she would have. The book is by an American, about Americans, set in America.

	Damn all these fictitious horses. 'Trigger Chair' just wouldn't work...

	lol i spelled color the Canadian way

	AThoughtyThought:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 19:56 GMT	0 points
	great quiz! except for the fact that atlas shrugged is on it. god, i hate that book.

	miss617:	Jun 13th, 2010 at 20:02 GMT	4 points
	I love you so much for the "Mononoke" clue. One of my favorite movies! Oh yeah, and great quiz!

	mehmeh53:	Jun 14th, 2010 at 04:06 GMT	-3 points
	Really needs to accept "Colour" as an alternative, I was so sure I'd heard of that book but assumed it must be something else and spent ages guessing random things.

	freakthegeekout:	Jun 14th, 2010 at 04:06 GMT	6 points
	Some of the clues are not quite on. 2 Charlottes would not equal "Charlotte's" Maybe think of 2 letter books that don't involve possessives, or find better clues for the possessives.

	freakthegeekout:	Jun 14th, 2010 at 04:06 GMT	2 points
	I was also trying redneck sports, like another user up there who was trying hillbilly sports :P

	Linz:	Jun 14th, 2010 at 14:12 GMT	7 points
	I'm so tired of this war of the words! If the Brit spelling doesn't work, try the US spelling. If the US spelling doesn't work, try the Brit way. How hard is that?

	Random:	Jun 14th, 2010 at 14:15 GMT	1 point
	I prefer "Pale Fire" to "Invisible Man" (or "Blind Assassin" -- sorry Esme.) ;-)
