Hey Sporclers. I just made a movie/actor pair version of this quiz, too. In case you like pop culture more than literature.

| Good quiz, but could the picture be changed? The front page picture has been used for 3 of the last 8 published literature quizzes. |

| Interesting how many of these begin with an article. I guess that uses up a lot of common letters in a place with relatively low informational entropy, so that they're not available in words that would actually help guess the answer. Overall this gives me the impression of a very thoughtfully crafted quiz!
Also, ABSLOM was sheer genius (especially since it showed up at the very end for me). |

| Excellent quiz. Five of those globes for you :) |

| I enjoyed the quiz but I found myself looking at the author and then realizing the book rather than just looking at the title to figure it out. For me, it became more of a quiz of "what books did this author write." No authors would definitely make it more of a challenge. |

| So I guess this means Tolstoy never wrote a book about Anna Kournikova, huh? |

| My daughters favorite novel was "Anne of Gerbils", so imagine my disappointment... |

| spent quite a lot of time wondering how I could be spelling Absalom wrong before I remembered to use it twice. |

| six minutes is much too much time if you include the authors as hints. I'd say three minutes, tops. |

| @gretabeth @Serenity. You don't have to look at the authors if you know your literature well, but as you can see from the statistics that two-thirds of the people don't break 50% of the answers on this quiz. You can consider it a fun added challenge to not look at the authors. |

| It's amazing how short some of these become. I liked both Heinlen's and Faulkner's. |

| I can't believe "A Separate Peace" is least guessed I thought everyone had to read that in high school |

| I've never heard of A Separate Peace'. I have to admit that the 4 I didn't get I had honestly never heard of. Mind you, I had also never heard of 3 that I did get. I thought that Absalom made sense, but never thought that the book would be so good they named it twice... |

| @Squiffy, I'd recommend A Separate Peace. One of my favorite books. Wouldn't recommend Absalom, Absalom. Made it about 2 pages into that one. Faulker definitely had a style. |

| Nice concept. Not everyone read A Separate Peace in high school. Some of got stuck reading crap like "When the Legends Die". |

| At first look I thought the Lucy Maud Montgomery book had something to do with gerbils. |
