	Sue Grafton clearly wasn't trying too hard on q. I guess quill and quilt weren't murderous enough.

	But Digital Fortress did not come out in 2003

	I would have opted for "Knickerless Nickleby" by Edmund Wells, but to each their own. :)

	Sad to see The Eyes of the Dragon in last it is a great King novel especially for Dark Tower fans.

	Wow, that was fun. A couple of tough ones in there. The Q was a little too easy though. Maybe go for Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson or maybe Queen of the Damned by Anne Rice? I have absolutely no other suggestions for X!

	@alohaminty, Misery doesn't begin with E.

	Nice mix of classic/popular; familiar/obscure. Too much time, though.

	I forgot the first-letter theme till most of the way through. Knowing the first letter only helped for three or four of them though, as most of these authors are famous for only one or two works.

	Great quiz! A quick correction: The Red Pony by John Steinbeck was written in 1933, not 1937. Still a big 5 from me.

	Took me on a fun search through my mental library. Thanks for all the out-of-the-ordinary titles, especially the one for Z

	giveupyet:	Nov 6th, 2010 at 18:54 GMT	0 points
	Good! Maybe include a shorter version of the Z book, but great quiz regardless!

	That was fun> I can't believe I missed Ken Follett. I'm reading it right now =(

	Curious to see quizzes of mine recreated by an editor days or weeks later, even using some of the same clues, and getting lots of plays.

	troutlooker:	Dec 10th, 2010 at 21:51 GMT	2 points
	How is Zen and the art ... a novel? Are novels supposed to be fiction?

	unicupolt:	May 1st, 2011 at 18:15 GMT	1 point
	Great Quiz!

	goofymidget82:	May 30th, 2011 at 02:32 GMT	0 points
	Agh, I was thinking Anthem for Ayn Rand!

	Blackbelt737:	Nov 29th, 2011 at 04:35 GMT	1 point
	I saw adams and immediately thought of the hitchhiker's series, only to realize too late that I missed my favorite book!!!! AAAAAAAAHHHH

	@troutlooker - Pirsig describes it as "a philosophical novel".

	ems24:	Mar 6th, 2012 at 16:58 GMT	1 point
	If you want to eliminate some of the more obscure answers, you could use "East of Eden" by Steinbeck for E and replace the Red Pony with The Red Badge of Courage or Robinson Crusoe.
