	In the directions you'll notice you can get an extra hint if need be. Type in the language of the novel you're struggling with, and you'll get the author of that novel as a bonus answer. For instance, if you couldn't get 'Les Trois Mousquetaires' but you typed in 'French' then 'Alexandre Dumas' would pop up.

	The Art of War is not a novel.

	Very good quiz! I confess to having guessed on the Czech one!

	Just to say, "The Stranger" is a slight mistranslation. In the majority of editions, at least in the UK, it's more accurately titled "The Outsider".

	@nicsi: I added 'The Outsider' as an alternative answer. I checked out a few different bookstore websites, and all have it as "The Stranger," but I did see The Outsider listed as an alternate title. It may very well be a cultural thing, but I hope that's enough to resolve it. @johnlk: fair point...I don't really want to change the title though, and I don't think that distinction is likely to be the determining factor in whether people get that question right or wrong. If others feel differently let me know. And @Sarahbelle and chunklets: thanks. glad you enjoyed.
