	A few comments on names - Could you change it so Dostoevsky accepts just the last name, and also so 'Eliot' isn't accepted for both George Eliot and T.S. Eliot?

	Some issues: not only accept Dosty's last name, but provide variations on the spelling as well. Dostoyevsky, Dostoevski, etc. Ben Jonson's name is spelled without the H. Murasaki is a Japanese author, so the first/last name assumptions are reversed, i.e., please accept "Murasaki" rather than "Shikibu" (or both to be safe).

	I disagree with ndkchk, when you're accepting last names customarily and two of the answers have the same last name you should accept it for both. So I'd say change it so it takes Bronte and keep Eliot.

	The lack of Steinbeck and Wharton breaks my heart.

	Thanks for the comments! I've made some alterations so that there is more comprehensive consistency and corrected misspellings. I apologize for any painful omissions from the list- the list is derived from the book I credit in the game's title. Overall I feel it is a great list, though obviously there will always be differences in opinion- that's a substantial factor in why lists are so compelling in the first place!
