I missed 4. Total brain fart on the Wally Lamb. I knew it, couldn't remember the title, same with Jurassic Park, and couldn't get the correct title on Brief History of Time. Lost Symbol just defeated me.

I got all of them except for The Prophet, which I am quite sure I have never in my life seen. o.O

A Brief History of Time took me awhile because I kept thinking it was just A History of Time, or A History of the Universe. And Lord of the Flies threw me until the last minute because that's an old cover.

I missed Lord of the Flies and The Great Gatsby. I am quite sure I've never seen either of those covers.

And I have to admit I had to cheat a bit on The Prophet. I knew it was Khalil Gibran, and I knew it started with a P, but could not for the life of me quite nail it down, so I googled it.

took me a minute on The Prophet, and mistook Brief History of Time for Universe in a Nutshell

I enjoyed that, wish it was a facebook quiz. The only one I disliked or thought was unfair was Black Beauty. They could have gone with the first edition cover illustration of the Black Stallion or something, and it would have been more iconic. Black Beauty is so old that there's really no iconic cover for it.
