	I'm going to pretend it's in there by mistake, since if it's supposed to be in there it would be in the wrong place datewise.

	brs:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 20:13 GMT	3 points
	I think Alcott would have spelled it "Being Neighbourly".

	Toby404:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 20:14 GMT	6 points
	Wow @adal that comment's confusing until you look back at the archived comments!:)

	twilight is out of chronological order, it is in the middle of the quiz for me, which made me keep trying "Dracula"...good quiz though

	Hope:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 20:26 GMT	18 points
	Twilight Really?? I guess to some people it has some value, but for me its got none. I did like the classics that were included.

	i like the war and peace bonus - you read my mind

	Detektor:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 20:33 GMT	4 points
	@tupacsghostVA: Good guess, but Dracula's presented in epistolary form, so all the chapters are called things like "Mina Murray's Journal" and "Dr. Seward's Diary".

	@missmay: Until people try to write a quiz like this, I don't think they have any idea how tough it is to find the right combination of clues that fall into that narrow band between utterly obscure and patently obvious. You and SproutCM are both past masters at threading that needle. Exceptionally well done.

	I think this is a great idea for a quiz, more poor score notwithstanding. Well done! I must say, it's mind-boggling that only 16% know the title to the book with a chapter called "The Black Bird" and a character called "Spade".

	well-designed quiz and a satisfying test of our literary chops with the exception of the already-multi-mentioned one title. Thank you Miss...May we hope for a sequel?

	Josh:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 20:59 GMT	5 points
	I was hoping it would take Muppet Treasure Island, but no such luck.

	Any other bonuses besides W&P and C&P?

	baconstud01:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 21:10 GMT	1 point
	^Pride and Prejudice was a bonus.

	SeanMcGregor:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 21:17 GMT	1 point
	Huck Finn was a bonus

	pat19:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 21:30 GMT	1 point
	Jane Eyre a bonus as well.

	BrannoTheBronze:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 22:01 GMT	12 points
	Although I am dismayed that I actually got the Twilight question correct, I'm overjoyed that you included Ender's Game on here. Great quiz!

	imbetterthanu001:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 22:01 GMT	11 points
	I enjoyed it. Then I saw Twilight

	SimbaMweupe:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 22:03 GMT	3 points
	why does it not take "20000" as a number?

	Nenenmeister:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 22:11 GMT	4 points
	The quiz was great, but lost most to all of its credibility on the last question.

	missmay:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 22:16 GMT	22 points
	There's nothing like navigating to Sporcle and seeing your own quiz on the front page! Thanks for the feedback, everyone! @brs: Alcott was from the States, so she spelled it "Neighborly". Also, for the record: I dislike Twilight quite as much as most of you, however the truth is that there are very few recent, well-known books which actually have chapter titles -- let alone chapter titles which are decent clues. Thus Twilight was included. I understand your frustration.

	I absolutley love these quizzes. More please!!

	TheLuggage:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 22:24 GMT	8 points
	My only problem is with the Hound of the Baskervilles. Using a word from the title of the book as one of the chapters is just a dead giveaway. I think I would have known it from just "Death on the Moor". You could have put "First Report of Dr. Watson" or something similar. That would show it as a Sherlock Holmes novel and not include the most recognizable word from the title.

	Most of these were fairly difficult so I can let myself off not getting them, but Charlotte's Web? Come on, just how many books are there with a central character called Wilbur? facepalm

	missmay:	Jul 16th, 2010 at 22:29 GMT	7 points
	@TheLuggage: Very good point, yet over 1/3 of quiz takers are still missing it as is. Since the quiz is overall on the difficult side, I decided to throw a couple of fairly easy ones into the mix.
