	I don't know anything about Vonnegut, but his role in "back to school" was great.

	Maybe have his collections of short stories and essays (like Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons, Armageddon in Retrospect, Welcome to the Monkey Houseunder etc) under a different heading, sort of like the way the Shakespeare plays are separated. Also, for a couple of ideas, have Hunter Thompson or Jack Kerouac book quiz.

	I am SO GLAD to see a nod to 20th century literature on today's sporcle. naming all those classics gets a bit old, and, yeah, I do know that other contemporary authors, such as Toni Morrison, have their sporcle lists, too. Kurt is smiling down from Heaven on this list now . . . tell me you know that's a joke, right?

	I'm more inclined to think he is scowling at us from heaven...

	Carto: Or laughing at us from Hell.

	I bring up the Heaven thing b/c I read in one of his books, when they all met at a conference for the American Humanists, that the speaker said he hoped Isaac Asimov, former president of the group, was smiling up in Heaven. And all the Humanists laughed. So now it's Kurt's turn.

	Nice touch allowing the subtitles of the books that have them to be used (Children's Crusade, Lonesome No More, Goodbye Blue Monday, etc.).

	Venus on the Half Shell should be a bonus answer.

	Chumley:	Jan 28th, 2009 at 02:31 GMT	5 points
	Actually, Venus on the Half Shell was written by Philip Jose Farmer under the pseudonym of Kilgore Trout. Trout himself a character created by Vonnegut who was a science fiction writer. "Venus" was inspired by Vonnegut but was not written by him.

Good quiz, I second the above notions for more contemporary authors. Evelyn Waugh, perhaps? Also, a bit of a nit pick. It should be Kurt Vonnegut Jr., Kurt Vonnegut was an architect.

	Could "Utopia 14" (an alternative title) be accepted for "Player Piano?"

	I would also include, maybe under a different heading, his play: Happy Birthday, Wanda June - and also some short story collections as stated above, including Canary in a Cat House and God Bless You, Dr. Kevorkian.

	I was upset I missed one, but at least it was the one the most people missed (Jailbird).
