	With the high popularity of The Simpsons here on Sporcle, especially among the creators and quizmakers, I'm rather shocked that The Smugglers of Pirates Cove is not a bonus answer. :P

	Waiting paitently for the list of Nancy Drew books.....I've never read a Hardy Boys book but I read all the Nancy Drew books growing up.

	Is there any chance the quiz could be fixed so that correct answers don't show up in white font on a white background?

	There are more than this, but they may be considered a different series.

	i read all of these, but cant remember the titles for the life of me haha. And to registering, i believe those are a different author just continuing under the same name and characters

	Not bad...might there be a 3 Investigators Books quiz in our future as well? I was much more in to them than into the Hardy Boys when I was a kid.

	I used to love the Three Investigators and Nancy Drew when I was growing up. And how about Encyclopedia Brown as well?

	These titles are the most unmemorable things I can imagine. I probably have read at least half of those, and I could only get 2. If anyone seriously got them all (besides Jimmy Wales), I'm impressed. There were also Casefile ones - navy paperback ones that started from a separate count, and then there were random color paperback ones that continued from the original series into the hundreds.

	Randy, Franklin Dixon didn't exist, neither did Carolyn Keene for that matter, he was invented by the Statemeyer Syndicate and the books written by more than one author. 59-190 (yes seriously theres 190 now!) were published by a different publishing house and are not thought to be canon. As someone said theres the casefiles books 127 of them and the clues brothers then the undercover brothers.... its endless. I think i've read 90 or so including most of the originals, the ordering was completely messed up in the uk. So having said all that I should have walked this quiz........ 11/58 the titles aren't memorable lol.

	When I started this quiz, I thought I would at least get the first three. I got the first one. Sigh. My older brothers collected them, so I didn't have the shelf in my face every day to burn the titles into my memory (and it has been a LONG time). Lots look familiar now, but also many I have never seen. However I did get the bonus! (Being of a scientific bent, I loved that volume.)

	I used to own about 30 of these, and read all of them at least twice...I got one correct and the bonus...They really aren't memorable titles at all.

	I couldn't remember many of the titles, but reading them brought up vivid memories of the cover illustrations. They were great books.

	I love these books. A boxcar children one would be great, but you run into a problem like the one here, after a while the later books arent canon. @LB1973- glad someone else keeps track of these things, I was thinking the same thing. Though it must be said, the ones after 59, up to about 74-5 are still good, mostly canon. Its when you get into the later books that they do unfun things, like kill off Joe (yes they did that, thus I swore I would never read past 75)
