	This is definitely harder than it seems, I've heard of them all but could hardly recall any...

	Are the Christmas ones really novels?

	You'd think Edwin Drood would be a bit more popular... considering that he finished only half of it before he died, and thus nobody can be too sure who the murderer really was.

	The old John Cleese-Marty Feldman/Monty Python Bookstore sketch was quite helpful with this one...Charles Dikkens, the well known Dutch author.

	OK, this is just eerie - I was just about to mention the Monty Python sketch, and only today, someone else made the same comment - and this quiz existed for months!

	The greatest author of all time, bar none.

	20/20! I feel like Desmond from 'Lost' I have read everything this man has ever written......brother.

	Dan Quayle was right -- it's a terrible thing to lose your mind. My memory is shot. But this is one way to try and get it back -- great quiz. In fact, you inspired me for one of my favorites -- I put together a quiz of the novels of Sincair Lewis, if anyone wants to try. I think Sporcle needs more of this kind of thing -- I still have some self esteem left.

	@onetheta: You got voted down, but actually, you are correct -- the five Christmas books are novellas, not novels. I still think they're fine to include here, however. Perhaps an appropriate compromise would be to update the title to say "novels and novellas," or to include a note saying something to that effect.

	Yes, you did Indeed forget Sketches by Boz

	If anyone's interested, I've made a quiz to identify Charles Dickens novel by character. http://www.sporcle.com/games/Fool/dickensnovelscharacters

	Sketches by boz is not a novel, but rather a collection of, well, sketches. If you include it, you may as well also include, American Notes, Pictures from Italy, and a Child's History of England. The Christmas Stories should not really count here. There was also a second collection called Christmas Books. If you included one collection, you may as well have included all the others.

	I missed some of the christams ones, the obscurer ones.... and then Barnaby Rudge! How?!?

	floydpink:	Mar 3rd, 2012 at 16:55 GMT		2 points
	I am very surprised to see "A Christmas Carol" in fourth place. I would have guessed it would be in first by a sizable margin. I mean, surely it's his most famous, right? There have not, after all, been a dozen movie adaptations of "Great Expectations" or "A Tale of Two Cities." Maybe many have remembered the title as "Scrooge" or something? Or maybe it's only his most famous in the US, and not in England?

	I got the penultimate answer because of Desmond on Lost

	floydpink: The books go in chronological order not popularity. Struggled with Battle of Life but got them all. Great quiz.

	Nice quiz, Erin! Of the actual novels, I didn't recall Dombey and Son or Our Mutual Friend. I didn't get any of the Christmas novellas except the obvious one. I like having the novellas included, but the pedant in me would retitle the quiz to make their presence clear. (They're each less than half the length of Hard Times, which is by far the shortest of the novels.) But that wouldn't have made any difference to my score.
