	I kept spelling "Cymbaline" like the title of the Pink Floyd song. Maybe it's time for me to read more books and listen to less music...

	I get Pericles, Timon, both of the crazy Cs... I overlook Julius Caesar. It's always the obvious ones that get overlooked in the end.

	@catcherj: peace and prosperity are boring.

	Debates still rage about some of the genres. For example, Troilus & Cressida in the 1609 Quarto edition is described as "The Famous Historie of". I personally think the play is more like a dark comedy. But lots of people die, so tragedy fits too. Great quiz though!

	Both Pericles and Cymbeline have been categorized as both comedies and tragedies in different sources (e.g. they are both listed as tragedies in Smithmarks' 3 volume 'Complete Works' but both listed as comedies (because of their plot subjects, themes, and meter) for 'The Complete Works of Shakespeare Abridged'.) Maybe it would be better to list them as both, or as "romances" ??

	Where's "Henry and the Deathly Hallows" Parts 1 and 2?

	@catcherj For the same reason he skipped Edward IV and V. The interesting parts of their stories were covered well enough in the other histories.

	I expect the 'guessed right' percentage for Coriolanus will improve thanks to Ralph Fiennes.

How about "Cardenio" as a bonus?

	For the antiquarians, pedants or special pleaders, perhaps "Sir Thomas More" (of which Shakespeare may have written a speech or two) might qualify as a bonus.
