	I didn't get Dickens, but you're the one who didn't get Jane Austen and George Orwell.

	I got 17, but only because my son reminded me how to spell Woolf

	I knew most of them. The only ones I didn't get were the ones I had never read before. But I couldn't remember Emily Bronte even though. I think the last name confused me.

	Hah. All of them in under a minute. :P (waves literature freak flag). Jesus Christ, I am such a loser.

	Technically, there isn't actually a book called Alice in Wonderland - it's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.

	I'd've put Rushdie up there.

	It confused me that "Bronte" didn't work although last names alone worked for all the other authors. It seems common on sporcle for a common last name to trigger all the matching answers.

	@Stewart as there is more than one Bronte, you needed the first name.

	Thanks, good quiz. I agree re the Brontes - it's too easy in their case to accept the surname.
