	Ah, tricky one with the Bronte!

	Would definitely love to see one with more entries - nice little quiz.

	Good quiz.

	Why are the stats weird? On the actual quiz page, I can see the answers to the questions I got wrong, but I can't tell which is which on the stats page. Very strange.

	Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of huckleber...no, wait...

	Good quiz, but I agree with oscholes - add more choices - each author should have at least four.

	I like that there are progressively more words... and god I hate the Brontes. Why couldn't they have chosen other names? :P

	@tbagley: I can never keep those straight either, so every single time I have to say to myself, "Charlotte comes before Emily alphabetically, and Jane Eyre comes before Wuthering Heights alphabetically, so Charlotte wrote JE and Emily wrote WH. It works. :)

	Agree with wyattstorch, tbagley and madhatter22, the Brontë one was the hard one. All I remember is Acton, Currer and Ellis Bell as the pseudonyms for Anne, Charlotte and Emily. Could never remember which sister wrote which novel.

	Gmackematix:	Mar 19th, 2013 at 01:29 GMT		3 points
	I suppose you could remember that Emily and Wuthering have three syllables, ANne wrote 'AgNes Grey' and 'The TenANt of Wildfell Hall'and Lotte wrote a LOT, i.e. The Professor, Shirley, Villette, Jane Eyre, etc.

	Damn those Brontë sisters and those Russian writers! @madhatter22 & @Gmackematix: great tricks, thanks! :D

	Woodchucker:	Mar 19th, 2013 at 09:56 GMT		7 points
	Although I am reasonably certain Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky were not sisters, I get them mixed up just as often as the Brontes.

	I continue to be astounded and disappointed by the frequent inclusion of Ayn Rand and her "novels" in these quizzes. By including this hate monger, this monster, this propagandist for evil, among legitimate books by legitimate authors, you legitimize her and her evil, stupid, poorly written books. Why not throw in some L Ron Hubbard Scientology-era crap while you're at it, or maybe Mein Kampf? Let's treat all that like perfectly acceptable, normal, ideologically neutral, not at all evil and crazy stuff too.

	@Tanner3: The problem is that there are people like me, who are fans of Rand's novels, but have no taste for Randian politics, or even the Rand philosophy. Her novels were never overly political...it's just that they've become politicized over the past decade or so: their "virtues" extolled by far right wingers, and their "evils" condemned by the left. Rand wasn't a great person, but the excessive demonizing of her and her novels has always been perplexing to me. The field of literature is rife with authors who had extreme views, yet few, if any, are derided with the same fervor as Rand.

	Too easy. They needed to pick words from some of these authors' lesser known books.

	There seemed to be quite a bit of time left over. I scrolled down to be sure I wasn't missing a block.
