  • For each author's last name in the left-hand column, there is a word in the right-hand column that is an anagram of it. Like if you had "The Joy Luck Club" and "Insect in a hill" it's TAN and ANT.
  • Type in "HELP" to see the non-English original titles of several of the works if you need them.
