Literary Game Show: Answers

I know you’ve all been waiting with baited breath for the answers to the game from November 29. To save you the trouble of scrolling back, I repeat the parody title below next to the real one and the author. Not to shame you, but I need to boast that I scored 26 out of 26 with guessing the correct title, got 24 out of 26 authors correct (didn’t know that Gaston Leroux wrote the original Phantom of the Opera and Pierre Boulle wrote the original Planet of the Apes)and have read 21 out of the 26. Go me!
