	too many have the same name as the fictional work...not sure how to work around that, but it definitely takes away from the fun of the quiz.

	Joseph K. is not a character in "The Castle"; that character is called simply "K."

	It wouldn't accept Sherlock or Holmes, so you need to add those because I didn't need to type the full name for the other characters. Maybe you should include other characters... For example, I was disappointed because you didn't have Iago, Penelope, Mercutio, the Cheshire Cat, and many others.

	Regarding the character selection, I just want to point out that the list is derived from Lucy Pollard Gott's "The Fictional 100". That said, I was not responsible for character choices as they appear on the list. I personally feel that there are more compelling characters in several of the referenced works. Iago from Othello is a very good example. However, on the whole I feel the list is strong and thorough. It is certainly a stimulating read- I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested! As for the technical errors, all I can say is that the list is a work in progress haha. Thanks for the feedback!
