This list is a good place to start. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Hurricanehink/tobeornottobe Tue, 20 Oct 2009 14:54:24 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/Hurricanehink/tobeornottobe Little known fact, Shakespeare was thinking of calling his play Piglet, but decided it was not quite baked enough (thank you I'm here all week). http://www.sporcle.com/games/leomontg/nineteen_eighty_four Fri, 16 Oct 2009 13:13:32 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/leomontg/nineteen_eighty_four It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. http://www.sporcle.com/games/KrazyKristoff/DuneSaga Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:16:53 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/KrazyKristoff/DuneSaga Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Caesar/bigread Thu, 08 Oct 2009 13:26:15 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/Caesar/bigread Now here's a question, how many of these books have you read and how many of these have just seen the movie? http://www.sporcle.com/games/gateau/dewey_decimal_system Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:48:25 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/gateau/dewey_decimal_system Oh Melvil Dewey, was there anything you couldn't do? http://www.sporcle.com/games/RebeccaAMax/pen_names Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:44:54 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/RebeccaAMax/pen_names I tried going by a pen name once, turns out that John Grisham was already taken. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Sarahbelle/patronuses Thu, 01 Oct 2009 12:56:53 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/Sarahbelle/patronuses If I had a patronus, I am pretty sure it would be a duck, I am not sure what that says about me though. http://www.sporcle.com/games/carnegiemedalwinners.php Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:08:22 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/carnegiemedalwinners.php For those wondering, this is basically the UK equivalent of the Newbery Medal awards. http://www.sporcle.com/games/50greatestcomiccharacters.php Fri, 11 Sep 2009 13:05:14 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/50greatestcomiccharacters.php Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's a Sporcle! http://www.sporcle.com/games/modernlibrarynovels_readers.php Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:26:14 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/modernlibrarynovels_readers.php As the summer comes to a close, it is time to reflect on all the books I didn't quite get finished. http://www.sporcle.com/games/detectiveauthors.php Wed, 02 Sep 2009 00:38:48 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/detectiveauthors.php Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. http://www.sporcle.com/games/namethatauthor.php Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:16:18 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/namethatauthor.php I can't help but wonder if the Great Gatsby were a major motion picture, if F. Scott Fitzgerald would have been a movie mogul instead of an alcoholic. http://www.sporcle.com/games/orwell.php Tue, 18 Aug 2009 11:26:37 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/orwell.php Something tells me there will be quite a drop off after people guess his last two books. http://www.sporcle.com/games/seriesofunfortunateevents.php Fri, 14 Aug 2009 13:05:44 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/seriesofunfortunateevents.php What's not to love about gothic novels about children growing up through terrible things. http://www.sporcle.com/games/autobiographies.php Tue, 11 Aug 2009 00:15:48 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/autobiographies.php I am such a bad writer I plagiarized my own autobiography. http://www.sporcle.com/games/namethatnovel.php Sun, 09 Aug 2009 00:52:09 EST http://www.sporcle.com/games/namethatnovel.php If it helps, some of these books have been turned into pretty good movies.
