	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!

	JakeA:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 16:07 GMT		1 point
	Surprised that at this point less than 7 percent would get Salander's first name.

	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.

	good quiz

	zertrudetrout:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 16:50 GMT		8 points
	Is it wrong that I initially typed in 'Goode' for Ebenezer's surname? Child o' the 90s, me :)

	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?

	ClintT13:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 16:53 GMT		1 point
	Apparently I read right past the "Ebenezer" item on the list. Got 24 right but missed the easiest one!

	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.

	Shouldn't Tom be accepted for ___ Buchanan? Great quiz!

	Flynah:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 17:02 GMT		3 points
	Patrick Bateman, not Batemen

	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)

	JayHankEdLyon:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 17:37 GMT		12 points
	I agree with cheeze, there's just no good reason not to accept Tom.

	TL333s:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 17:50 GMT		2 points
	Argh, I spelled Atreides wrong! And for some reason, I had no idea James BOND would be the character in question.

	analyzethis:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 17:52 GMT		12 points
	You should also accept Tom for The Great Gatsby.

	IndigoBlue:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 17:52 GMT		6 points
	Tom/Thomas for Buchanan? Even their daughter, Pammy?

	Terentius_Varro:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 18:17 GMT		3 points
	Is it bad that I knew most of these from movies, though I'm majoring in Literature? :P

	Re: "No Potters or Cullens were used in the making of this quiz." THANK you. =)

	JPDisco:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 18:52 GMT		3 points
	Isn't it Patrick Bateman? Bizarrely I managed to get it with a typo...

	jessbowen:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 19:08 GMT		2 points
	Dang, kept trying to spell it Rourke (and even O'Rourke). Totally agree that you should give Scarlett and ask for O'Hara.

	WCRoentgen:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 19:14 GMT		-2 points
	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!)

	BrannoTheBronze:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 19:39 GMT		7 points
	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!

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

	DragonNo4:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 20:00 GMT		2 points
	A lot of you need to read The Chronicles of Narnia.

	plumsiren:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 20:11 GMT		8 points
	Only 12.6% got Peter Pevensie? I'm heartbroken!

	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.

	Jordan117:	Jul 27th, 2010 at 21:50 GMT		5 points
	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.
