Your clue for to kill a mockingbird is ambiguous because there are several chracters with the last name finch such as scout jem and atticus, also in rabbit, run, the character's real name is Harry, rabbit is just a nickname

Wow, I can't believe I missed Rabbit. I was thinking, "I thought his name WAS Rabbit?" but it seemed so obvious, I didn't try it.

I was so sure that Harry or Potter was on here that I spent 3 minutes trying different spellings of his name.

Good quiz! Nice mix of difficulties. I remembered Guy Montag but couldn't recall Arthur Dent's last name.

Great fun! Just enough time to enter the ones I did know and guess a hundred different ways to spell Atreides and not get it. But now I feel like I have to read some of these books that I didn't know!

Good puzzle! As for the comment above that Daedalus is spelled wrong... Well, if it was about Icarus's father, the builder of the Labyrinth, then you'd be correct. But Dedalus is how the name is spelled in Ulysses, so the answer is as it should be.

Still trying to figure out how 10% of people missed Hound of the Baskervilles. Are there other famous Sherlocks that I should be aware of?

There were lot's of O'Haras in Gone With the Wind. You may want to give the first name and ask for the last.

Doesn't Elizabeth Bennet's last name change to Darcy when she gets married at the end? I know this is kind of cheating but I couldn't remember her maiden name and it should technically be an acceptable answer.

As with memphis1982's comment there are multiple Flytes in Brideshead, so this question would be best the other way round. (I tried Julia first)

Dang, kept trying to spell it Rourke (and even O'Rourke). Totally agree that you should give Scarlett and ask for O'Hara.

Based on the 13% who got Salander's first name, I'd say Sporclers are not among the 27 million people who have read Stieg Larsson's trilogy (which include the current #1 NY Times hardback best seller and the # 1 and 2 Paperback best sellers!)

Arthur Dent, Guy Montag, and Duke Leto Atreides all in one quiz? Awesome! I never thought I'd see so much SF in a literature quiz. Excellent quiz!

Well, props for no J.K. Rowling, but you ruined it with J.R.R. Tolkien & C.S. Lewis. Those three severely overrated scribblers comprise the unholy trinity of the literary world.

Then again, if you give Scarlett, you really should accept any of her various last names: O'Hara, Hamilton, Kennedy, Butler.

This is sad, people should be reading the classics more, as most of the most correctly gooten are, in my opinion, stupid things. Why did so many people miss Stephen Dedalus, Willie Stark, Howard Roark, and Humbert Humbert!!! Most of the ones I missed where the recent ones or the childrens ones, and I'm 13!!!

I read Fahrenheit 451 2 months ago... and I can't remember the main character's name. I read the His Dark Materials 3 years ago... and remember her name with ease. Typical.

When I read 'All the King's Men' in school, I apparently picked up a special version, because it retained the name Willy Talos, which was changed later to Stark to sound less ethnic. It won't matter much, seeing as only 4% get it anyway, but I typed in Talos first because that's what my copy always said. I think this should be accepted.

Seconding cthulhu. There's a popular edition of the book that calls him "Willie Talos." I believe its the "uncut" version with some sections of the book restored from Warren's notes.

How can you lump Harry Potter in with Twilight like that? Ugh.
