Answer: Ian Fleming

Answer: Dr. Seuss

Theodor Seuss Geisel, pen name Dr. Seuss, wrote "Green Eggs and Ham". The character Sam-I-Am was insistent that the unnamed protagonist try the unconventional dish. "I would not like them here or there. I would not like them
anywhere. I do not like green eggs and ham. I do not like them, Sam-I-am." But then he TRIED them... and the story changed!
4. Guide for Hitchhikers.// Arthur Dent's galaxy tour.// Answer: Forty-two.

Answer: Douglas Adams

6. "Out, out, ... spot." Bard's play.// Murder and mental breakdown.// MacBeth and Lady.

Answer: William Shakespeare

MacBeth, written by Shakespeare (the "Bard") is a tale of royal intrigue which includes betrayal and murder. MacBeth and his wife kill Duncan, and then Lady M cannot get clean of the blood, always seeing it on her hands. The guilt makes a psychological mess!

Answer: Nathaniel Hawthorne

Set in 1642 Boston, "The Scarlet Letter" tells a tale of a woman accused of adultery in a Puritan community. She is forced to wear a scarlet letter A, for "Adultery", and stand in the stockade. She bears a child from the affair but refuses to name the father of her child, protecting him. THEN her husband, previously presumed dead, shows up, and he takes up the cause of the double standard.
8. A prom, so scary!// Pig's blood. Carrie's head. Revenge.// Mind power. Havoc.

Answer: Stephen King

Stephen King tells a tale of a teen with few friends and telekinetic power in "Carrie". It was King's first published novel. Carrie is not popular but is asked to the prom. Mean girls dump pig blood on her head, and then the havoc begins, because Carrie has abilities unknown by her classmates.
9. Lenore. His lost love.// "Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore'."// Sad man talks to bird.

Answer: Edgar Allan Poe

Perhaps Poe's most famous poem, "The Raven" was first published in 1845. A raven shows up as the protagonist is sitting alone, pondering, "weak and weary", lamenting the loss of his beloved Lenore. The bird has one line, "Nevermore."
10. I love thee. I list.// Depth. Breadth. Height. Freely. Purely.// Even after death.

Answer: Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Sonnet 43, from the book "Sonnets from the Portuguese" was written in 1850. "How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." The ways include the depth and height of her soul's reach, and with God's permission the love will continue after death. It is SUCH a beautiful poem!
