All of the following selections are titles from literature that have been combined together to form one ridiculous title (ex. A Study in Scarlet Letter.) Please note: some articles ('a' and 'the') have been excised from titles.

-1.Combine Russian novelist Ivan Turgenev's 'masterpiece of clashing generations' with D. H. Lawrence's classic Oedipal novel. 'Fathers and ____ and Lovers' (Fill in the blank)

-2.If Jonathan Swift's most famous character set out with John Steinbeck's pet poodle, what would be the resultant title? (Four Words (G. T. w. C.))

-3.A short story by Edgar Allan Poe meets the Congo, led by Joseph Conrad. Combined they become: 'The Tell-Tale _____ of Darkness' (Fill in the blank)

-4.When a John Grisham book, which was made into a movie starring Sandra Bullock and Samuel Jackson, meets a Harper Lee novel, also made into a film starring Gregory Peck, what is the result? 'A Time _______________' (Fill in the last four words)

5.What if a series of short stories by American novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne were merged with a short story by another American novelist, Jack London? We would get: 'Twice-Told ____ of the Fish Patrol' (Fill in the blank) t---s

-6.A quiz like this wouldn't be complete without a Jane Austen novel. Choose one of her most famous novels and combine it with a pamphlet written by Thomas Paine. What do you have? (Four Words (C. S. a. S.))

-7.Combine one of Dickens' most depressing titles with the title of an A. A. Milne classic starring Winnie the Pooh and you would have 'Bleak _____ at Pooh Corner'. (Fill in the blank)

-8.If Herman Wouk and Leo Tolstoy were ever to meet and collaborate, they might have come up with the following title, 'The Winds _________ Peace.' (Fill in the blank) (3 words (o. W. a.))

-9.Horatio Alger, Jr.'s series of novels for kids that includes such characters as Telegraph Boy, Julius the Street Boy, and Slow and Sure suddenly becomes merged with Henry Fielding's greatest classic. The product of this merger is 'Tattered ___ Jones'. (Fill in the blank)

-10.Look out! Sinclair Lewis's first major novel has just crashed head-on into a play written by Tennessee Williams and featuring characters named Blanche Dubois and Stanley Kowalski. What has been the result of this 'accident'? (Four Words (M. S. N. D.))

As I've grown older, I've found that my memory is not as good as I used to think it was.
