	For some reason, Michael Crichton seems alone on the list in requiring a first name. Also, two Vonnegut works?

	Roald Dahl :)

	...anyone else shocked some of these writers are dead?

	Good quiz. Melville's "Billy Budd" was published posthumously as well.

	Nice quiz! It seems a bit weird though that most of them are in alphabetical order and the last few aren't?

	Stieg Larsson should be on here for his Millenium Trilogy! The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was an amaaazing book.

	What about Fernando Pessoa? Almost his entire corpus was published after his death.

	Am I the only one who thinks the tagline on the front page shouldn't be a question?

	As if this day wasn't crappy enough already, now I get a reminder that the greatest literary mind of our time(David Foster Wallace) recently hanged himself.

	I don't know how many times I typed in variations of "James Joyce" before I got the right answer to "Portrait of an Artist..."

	jaymc:	Feb 2nd, 2010 at 22:30 GMT	3 points
	Another recent one: "2666" by Roberto Bolano.

	It must be me, but I couldn't get "Kafka" to work (fingers on wrong keys, I guess).

	I was really hoping that "The Red Book" answer would be Mao, but I guess that was "The LITTLE Red Book" ...

	I hear "The Trial" is very Kafkaesque.

	MsShenanigans:	Sep 8th, 2010 at 07:17 GMT	1 point
	I kept guessing James Joyce for Portrait of an artist...curse Heller for having the same title!
