	I never knew that there was a book called Little House in the Big Woods, so I thought that I was mispelling "prairie."

	you missed a Vonnegut book, Welcome to the Monkey House

	How is the Little Prince so low?

	TrumpetPlayer:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 16:56 GMT		1 point
	The answer shown at the end of the quiz is something about peppers for the Saint Exupery book. The quiz doesn't accept The Little Prince, which needs to be changed.

	Good quiz, though quite challenging.

	The three instances of Edgar Allan Poe's name are misspelled Allen. Good quiz, nonetheless.

	@finesse - Did you miss the part where the quiz gives the year? It's not random at all. Disappointing comment.

	Guinevere:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 17:40 GMT		11 points
	Great, great quiz! I don't know why I always have so much trouble remembering just how many leagues under the damn sea Jules Verne's boat (submarine?) was.

	Props for accepting le Petit Prince. Great balance of European and North American titles

	gellchom:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 19:54 GMT		5 points
	I couldn't get it to accept "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" for some reason. I tried typing out the words. Maybe I omitted the comma? I figured out about the dates, too, but I'd prefer it if you left them out and accepted all the possible choices by the author. PS - Go Sox!

	I kept trying Antony and Cleopatra and wondering why it wouldn't work

	Why doesn't Troilus and Cressida work for Shakespeare? Fun quiz otherwise though.

	iamausername:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 21:32 GMT		7 points
	When I tried Sense and Sensibility, I got a bonus answer pointing out that the year was wrong. Is that a recent addition, or does it not happen for the other not quite right answers people are commenting about here?

	HeatMcManus:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 22:11 GMT		18 points
	Shakespeare, Austen, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy.....Dan Brown...One of these things is not like the other!

	diplomatt:	Jun 7th, 2012 at 23:05 GMT		12 points
	I agree with finesse. I am fully aware that the quiz gives the year, but it seems a little arbitrary. Why not accept all Shakespeare titles with "and"? You're right, Gwynn19, it's not random. But it is arbitrary.

	confused:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 00:08 GMT		4 points
	I'm just too ignorant - had little problem because I went for the obvious answers. If soxfan tried to include every possibility, there's a good chance he'd run into the character limit on several, and he'd open himself up to endless comments on what he didn't include. Giving the year is a nice solution. Enjoyable quiz!

	Wait, Little Expectations is not a book?

	StrobesAU:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 00:57 GMT		1 point
	I kept wondering why "The Road Not Taken" wasn't accepted, but then I noticed the years. That's fine. However, you might consider accepting "The Miller's Tale" for Chaucer since it's contained in Canterbury Tales.

	Jrh0007:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 01:19 GMT		0 points
	Rachel Carson also had a book called "Under the Sea-Wind" and one called "The Edge of the Sea" that aren't accepted. You should really fix that.

	Kitimat88:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 01:30 GMT		0 points
	Agree with @confused. Yes, it's slightly arbitrary, but the whole concept is arbitrary, as are a lot of the quizzes on Sporcle! The point is the more knowledge you have (such as publication years), the better you do. @gellchom- me too. It didn't matter how I wrote 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea (I tried typing out the number in words), it wasn't having it.

	Hamlet:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 02:25 GMT		2 points
	This has "The Winter's Tale" written seven years after Shakespeare died. 1623 WAS the year of its first known printing, though, in the First Folio.

	Bobman1:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 03:03 GMT		1 point
	Great quiz. Loved it. I tried Troilus and Cresida a half dozen ways, but never got it. Clearly the wrong year. duh. Somehow I hit the 99th percentile and yet MISSED R&J for Shakespeare. Captain Obvious kicks my punk ass once more....

	itsacon:	Jun 8th, 2012 at 03:20 GMT		4 points
	I think the requirement with the year is pushing it a bit. Most of the words are only in one work by an author, whereas words such as 'and' are just way too common and requiring one specific book is pushing it. Also, I don't think Slaughterhouse 5 should be acceptable because the word is not 'house', it's 'slaughterhouse.'

	I have seen the words Wide Sargasso Sea so many times, and yet, this was the first time I ever realized the first word was not "Wild". I must have tried it 5 times. All these years, I have been seeing the title incorrectly.
