Splendid! The only thing that could make this quiz better is a bonus response for "Love and Freindship" [sic].

Not a lit fan at all, but I can appreciate how long this took to make. I made a topic-specific foursomes quiz with only 12 categories, compared to your 18, and it took me many hours. Nicely done.

Nice job. Knew three of the gullivers travels answers but could only spell one of them right. Oh well. Albert as a bonus answer for musketeers would have been my only suggestion, as it would have made me laugh.

5 globes and nominated. Loved the bonuses for "Virginia Woolf" and for the "one-word Jane Austen novels".

Really nicely done, and very challenging. As a side note, while I was trying to figure out the HP houses, and nonsensically forming compound words, I kept entering "Whiffenpoof," which is the Yale a capella club.

Love the quiz! Seeing the Moby-Dick question stroked my ego. (Thank you for including Ahab, as previously mentioned. I noticed you also have Starbuck. Where are my precious Flask and Stubb?)

It always makes me laugh that she went down in history as Scarlett O'Hara when that's only her name for about 100 pages of a 1,000 page book.

Thank you for accepting "horse" and putting me out of my misery after countless failed attempts to spell Houyhnhnms!

Can you accept "The Hatter" for the Tea Party Attendees? He wasn't known as the "Mad Hatter" in the books.

@Kcostell...wish I'd thought of that. I just kept pounding away at the spelling of Houyhnhnms! @sproutcm. Good quiz, great comments when we're wrong. 5 globes!

I wish I knew why the quiz wouldn't accept my response of "Queequeg" when it said it was right at the end.

Branwell is known as the Bronte sisters' brother. Nobody reads his stuff unless trying for a PhD in literature.

There are five Jane Austen multi-word titles. As this quiz is about sets of four, it seems that Lady Susan would disqualify the Austen category. Otherwise, I liked it a lot.

It's sad that many people know more about Harry Potter than they do about Shakespeare.
