	@shabowsk Read the note. They're not meant to be literal antonyms, just used "somewhat loosely."

	farm and city is a little too loose for me...but really fun quiz. Liked Demons and angels

	Ah, I remember having to read the Pitcher in the Wheat back in high school. What an American classic . . .

	Missed the book I just spent three months slaving over. Nothing like early-morning sporcle to make you feel dumb after reading Infinite Jest to feel smart.

	WOW... did anyone else not get "Return of the King?" I kept trying The Arrival of a King, The Welcome of a King, The Greeting of a King... I'm such an idiot.

	Why did some of the antonym titles use "a" when the correct title uses "the" while some of the antonym titles use "the"?

	arb78:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 05:20 GMT	11 points
	The use of the word "antonym" can be annoying. However, some of the words have no obvious "opposite." It is both misleading AND the only way the author could title the quiz!

	I like how the antonyms of the individual words in Nothing Comes Together form a phrase that is a synonym to the clue

	BamaRainbow:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 05:25 GMT	15 points
	I think the use of "charity" in that antonym title is being WAAAAAY too generous, even for a "loosely based" disclaimer. (Personally, I think that "Law and Reward" would've been better.)

	i would like to read some of these books - plant city and servant of the mosquitoes for example..

	Arichmix:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 08:01 GMT	18 points
	How the hell did 9 percent of people miss Demons and Angels? I mean, come on Sporclers

	jspecakord:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 08:30 GMT	1 point
	Props on Things Fall Apart and Cry, The Beloved Country references

	WyvernSabres:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 10:03 GMT	12 points
	@MovieDynamic: The trouble is "Farewell" is not really an antonym of "Return" - "Departure" might be better. I agree with you that the clue suggests a word such as Greeting, Welcome or even Hello.

	Ahhh, Huge Men, one of my favourites

	Big_E:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 11:21 GMT	12 points
	Pretty good...making me think in the morning. But I think Factory would be a better antonym for Farm...

	ChileNoseJam:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 12:15 GMT	4 points
	Another good laugh - thanks!

	like_a_flower:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 13:09 GMT	-1 points
	Funny! I got all of the most guessed none of the least guessed.

	horses:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 13:18 GMT	2 points
	well i disagree with mosquito being antonym of fly- mosquitoes are flies for goodness sake! otherwise very good, little irritated i didn't get animal farm

	aplcinamn:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 14:06 GMT	0 points
	A better antonym for 'falls' might be 'flies' or anything besides 'comes' which doesn't suggest 'falls' at all! Some of these were great, others, not so great. I know the excuse is 'that's the best antonym the author could come up with.' Well, in that case, pick different books!

	mellybmel:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 14:37 GMT	0 points
	Fun one. It took me awhile to stop insisting that there had to be a book something like "Dogs and Guys". I still like my "Little House on the Prairie" for "Plant City," though!

	mathboy0:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 14:59 GMT	2 points
	"Demons and Angels" -> "Angels and Demons". I like it. (I, too, was annoyed that I didn't get "Return of the King".)

	mlockwood:	Jun 3rd, 2010 at 15:09 GMT	7 points
	THE is not an antonym of A, or vice versa. this made things very confusing. leave THE THE and A A.

	Is anyone offended by the presence of New Moon?

	The quiz is called book antonyms, not trash antonyms. Why is New Moon here?
