Um...you might be thinking, "What in the neck are you doing with another trivia thread? Aren't you tired yet? And besides, 'literature'?! Books suck! Don't you have the LotR thread already?"
Yes...I do, but that only covers that little niche of literature, and I surely couldn't go off and make seperate threads for each great author or series with cult fans...
