I really like how they get off the planet - but I won't spoil it for you in case you haven't read it.
2. "Watchers" by Dean Koontz. Which cartoon character do Einstein and the Outsider have a fixation with?

Answer: All those mentioned

First she marries Charles Hamilton to become Ashley's sister-in-law, but he is killed in the war. Next she marries Frank Kennedy to pay the taxes on Tara, but he is shot for being part of the KKK. Finally, she marries Rhett!
7. "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" by C.S. Lewis. (Book 2 from the "Chronicles of Narnia") What is the name of the lion that Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy meet in the land of Narnia?

Answer: Aslan

"They say Aslan is on the move. Perhaps he has already landed," whispered the Beaver. Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delightful strain of music had just floated by. And Lucy got that feeling when you realize it's the beginning of summer. So, deep in the bewitched land of Narnia, the adventure begins. -- C.S. Lewis
8. "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. An Englishwoman is transported from 1945 to 1743 in ________.

Answer: Scotland

One of the most amazing books I've ever read! Search funtrivia.com for "Outlander" for more in-depth quizzes on this book.
9. "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare. (OK, so it's not technically a book...) Give one of the names of Oberon's mischievous fairy servant who is the culprit in meddling with the love lives of Hermia, Lysander, Helena and Demetrius.

Answer: Puck

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this and all is mended,
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme,
No more yielding than a dream,
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, we will mend:
And, as I am an honest Puck,
If we have unearned luck
Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue,
We will make amends ere long;
Else the Puck a liar call;
So, good night unto you all.
Give me your hands, if we be friends,
And Robin shall restore amends." -- William Shakespeare
10. This book by Kathy Stinson and Robin Baird Lewis was the first book I ever read. (to my mom, at around age two-and-a-half. Well, it was more from memory, that actually READING it... *Grin*) Its title is "_____ is Best."
