Triviadventures: The Classics

8/17/2011

Cloth-bound Penguin Classics
I want this entire series of cloth-bound Penguin Classics. Somebody buy them for me!!
To be honest, I'm a bit nervous that not as many people will enter to win a book that is a classic. That usually means that they are available as free ebooks. But I KNOW that there are a few of you out there that want a copy of an old favorite or a future potential favorite, right? RIGHT? So, without further adieu, let's get to the trivia. The winner may choose a book from the correct answers as the prize.

1) The author of this book is considered an iconic member of the Beat generation. Lesser known than his On The Road, this work is about a mountain climbing trip.

2) This character has so many short stories written about him that there are two huge volumes. He lives as 221b Baker Street. (I hope you pick this book if you win:))

3) This well-known children's classic has been made into more movies than almost any other I can think of. It also spawned a series of books. It was originally published in 1900 and illustrated by W.W. Denslow.

4)This Dickens novel was made into an 8-hour Masterpiece Theatre show featuring Gillian Anderson. (*hums X-Files theme song*) There is a character named Sir Leicester Dedlock.

5) This epic is usually the go-to book that people say they aim to read at some point in their life. It is more than 1,300 pages and the original Russian title is Война и мир.

6) This book's author only ever wrote one book. She was friends with Truman Capote. The themes of the Southern gothic novel are racial injustice and the destruction of innocence.

7)This F. Scott Fitzgerald work, published in 1925, showcases the lavish lifestyle of some characters on Long Island and is narrated by Nick Carraway.

8) This one is one of my ultimate favorites. What, you don't know it already? It is set primarily in France and is the ultimate tale of exacting revenge on your enemies. Characters include Luigi Vampa and Monsieur Villefort.

9) Ben Barnes recently played the title character in a movie of this book. It is Oscar Wilde's only published novel.

10) This is a sweeping story of tangled passions and the rare courage of a group of people in Atlanta during the time of Civil War. It won the Pulitzer in 1937 and the author wrote it while recovering from an auto accident.

This Triviadventure, back to the usual, will be open for one week and will close for entries at 9pm PST on Tuesday, August 23rd. It is open anywhere that The Book Depository ships. Extra entries for spreading the word and bringing more people into my web of nonsense. You must be a follower to enter. Comment on this blog entry and that will  be another entry. Good luck!
