	Maybe the most difficult quiz on the site.

	Man! This was really difficult

	Tom Stoppard needs to be more original. How would he like it if I wrote a book and stole one of his titles?

	photogirl:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 19:42 GMT	2 points
	Definitely a hard quiz. A couple more I should have gotten, but at best I would've had 7/16. My brain hurts!

	I loved that I was reminded that The Birds was written by Du Marier

	Holy mackerel that was hard!

	Elie Wiesel wrote a book entitled Twilight in 1995. Take that, Stephanie Meyer!

	Skydog:	Jan 25th, 2010 at 21:08 GMT	3 points
	Cool quiz, and WorldWhiz I'm 100% sure it was better than Meyer's too.. those books are soo boring...

	I loved this, brilliant, make more, you know what you're talking about, BUT geez, Harold Robbins? Ah, before I get voted down, maybe I should say, oh, Harold RobBINS, I thought you were talking about that awful man, Harold Robinson...:)

	Cities of the Plain is a VERY creative translation of the fourth volume of In Search of Lost Time. At the very least, Sodom and Gomorrah should be an acceptable answer.

	RebeccaAMax:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 03:06 GMT	1 point
	@acadec: Cities of the Plain may be creative, but it's the title of the English translation in at least some editions, just as "Remembrance of Things Past" is a "creative" translation of "A la recherche du temps perdu." @WorldWhiz great idea, if I could edit the quiz now I'd add it. @Atonement: Ha, I'm not familiar with him, but another commenter suggested it.

	also @acadec, Sodom and Gomorrah, though an exact translation of the French title, is not also the title of a Cormac McCarthy book, and thus does not fit the "titles in common" theme

	cheezguyty:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 04:01 GMT	3 points
	What? You mean the title "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead" hasn't been used before? Tom Stoppard actually came up with an original name? ;)

	Martin:	Jan 26th, 2010 at 07:08 GMT	1 point
	It's Bertolt, not Bertholt.

	I was expecting to kick myself afterwards, and then I didn't....

	Antigone and Antigone aren't pronounced the same, but would still qualify.

	RebeccaAMax:	Aug 10th, 2010 at 22:29 GMT	2 points
	daHOOK, that's why they're on the quiz. ;) Sophocles and Anouilh.
