	Gabriel Garcia Marquez is NOT dead.

	For that matter, neither are Umberto Eco or Harper Lee, unless you know something I don't. It wouldn't hurt to do a little research. Also, the answers Solzhenitsyn, Gorky and Dostoyevsky don't work.

	Tolstoy didn't work for me either.

	ctbrainiacs:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 14:54 GMT		2 points
	The title Invisible Man that is most often referred to is Ralph Ellison's novel, not Wells' novella, although The does appear before the Wells title--maybe you should accept both. Also, there is no novel titled "James Bond"--Fleming wrote several stories about the character, but never one with that title. Lastly, with so many great dead authors, why repeat Dickens and others instead of adding diversity?

	imclala:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 15:47 GMT		2 points
	Tolstoy didn't work and you need to allow alternative spellings of the Russian names (Dostoevsky).

	It's The Importance of Being Earnest, not Ernest.

	emn8:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 17:20 GMT		1 point
	Why all the repeats? Also, why do you accept some last names (Dickens) and in other cases insist on full names (Leo Tolstoy)? And I could not for the world figure out how you wanted me to spell Dostoevsky.

	Needs to allow last names for Russian authors, take off living authors, change "Ghost of Canterville" to its actual title "The Canterville Ghost"

	The correct title of the book is actually "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

	nymets18:	Jan 28th, 2010 at 20:25 GMT		1 point
	It only took Leo Tolstoy.

	shanekelby:	Jan 29th, 2010 at 00:44 GMT		1 point
	Well, you can now add Mr. Salinger to that list.

	Sindrerise:	Jan 29th, 2010 at 14:45 GMT		4 points
	That was an awful lot of criticism, although most of it was both fair and constructive. I had in fact allowed the multiple spellings of the russian authors, but i messed up the techinals. I have now figured it out and it is corrected. I have made most of the other corrections suggested too, but not Ralph Ellison. Wells did write a book called "Invisible man", over 50 years prior to mr. Ellison. In addition I have changed some of the repeated authors with some new ones, so now it is indeed 50 different dead authors. And yes, Salinger is now on the list. Aaron_Kashtan is right: "It dosen't hurt to do a little research".

	Well after all this attacking, I thought it was pretty good.

	Sindrerise:	Feb 1st, 2010 at 10:17 GMT		2 points
	Thanks alot. After all the corrections I've made, I think it's better than 2,23.

These aren't all books, such as The Glass Menagerie, it is a play. Consider revising the title of the game. Otherwise, very fun

	Gulliver's Travels. In Search of Lost Time Accept Dostoevsky.
