	It's JRR Tolkien.

	This quiz is about 15 minutes too long ;-) Also - You take just the last names of everyone but Jane Austen and Mary Shelley. I could perhaps see the argument that Shelley might be meant as Percy Bysshe Shelley, but as he was primarily a poet, it's unlikely, and even so, the correct name would come up. And there is only one Austen. Even if there are others, there's still only one ;-) Finally, since you list other names for those who wrote under pen names, Orwell was the pen name of Eric Blair.

	Oh, and since I'm nit-picking - If you're listing titles (Dame Christie, Sir Conan Doyle) several of the other authors on the list have been knighted - Clarke and Pratchett, for example.

	Harlan Ellison and Howard Smith have both published books entitled I, Robot, in addition to the author you have as an answer. James Bond novels have been written by your answer, Kinglsey Amis, John Gardner, and Raymond Benson. You might want to name a specific novel or two by the author you are looking for. Similarly, several other people have also written Sherlock Holmes stories. The correct title is 2001: a space odyssey, not 2001 of Space Odyssey. Also the correct title is The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, not just The Grinch. Why do you need both names for the authors of Frankenstein and Price and Prejudice when otherwise last names tend to work?

	Misspelling on Northern Lights. Also, I think "Snicket" should be accepted as well as last names only mentioned by Iscah.

	Why is this under Gaming?

	thanks for the feedback here I have made a few changes. In answer to your question 'why is this under gaming' i was doing a gaming quiz and then restarted to do this one forgetting to change the settings in the process.

	Since everyone else is pointing out correct titles...it's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Not a big deal though. I like the mix of authors and genres you have here.

	Looking through the list, I kept thinking that there was a lot of sci-fi, horror, and fantasy. Then, I saw Hitler's book. I thought it was odd until I realized most of Mein Kampf probably was sci-fi, horror, or fantasy.
