I don't think these covers are quite as iconic as the first set. Some of them certainly are (especially the children's books). But covers for classics like The Old Man and the Sea and Frankenstein vary greatly, and even Ender's Game is often very different. For instance, if you do a Google Image Search for "stuart little book cover", the majority of the hits are for the cover pictured here, but hits for many of the other books (like the ones I mentioned) are hugely scattered in their results.

Ribhump: Try looking at the image in a separate window. In some browsers, the "Popular trivia games today" box can cut off the right of an image.

Yeah, I've read Enders Game twice, as well as a number of other books in the series, and I've never seen that cover. At first I thought there is a "Tron: the book"?

It's a little bit region-specific. I have read Fahrenheit 451, Ender's Game, Holes, and To Kill A Mockingbird, all on differenet versions of the cover, so there was really no chance of me getting those...

There are days when I am happy that I work part-time in a bookstore - today is one of those days! ;) Anyway, lovely quiz!

Never seen that "Color Purple" cover, but it makes sense and I could/should have gotten it. I was certain it was actually "The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood" but I was thinking of the movie poster. I swear I've never read or seen it. Honest. Oh god...
