Trivial Pursuit for Book-Lovers
I'm calling this the Easter edition, because of the first question. Also the completely gratuitous picture of our rabbit.
Children's: Who began his infamous raids on Mr. McGregor's garden in 1902?
Classics: What was the first Raymond Chandler novel to feature private eye Philip Marlowe?
Non-Fiction: What Portuguese navigator's ill-fated-16th-century voyage to the Spice Islands is the focus of Laurence Bergreen's Over the Edge of the World?
Book Club: What famed artist's trip to Tahiti features in Mario Vargas Llosa's novel The Way to Paradise?
Authors: What novel caused Sebastian Junger to note "I've written as complete an account as possible of something that can never be fully known"?
Book Bag: What self-published bestseller sends its hero on a quest for a Peruvian manuscript containing nine mystical "insights"?

I do like Peter Rabbit. I'm waiting for my Boy-o to be able to follow stories that long; I've already bought him a book of them. :)
Peter Rabbit, of course. Is the last one The Celestine Prophecy? Chandler: Big Sleep? Maybe?

Classics: The Big Sleep
Non-Fiction: Magellan
Book Club: ?
Authors: The Perfect Storm (great book)
Book Bag: The Celestine Prophecy (awful book)
(I think that's the most I've ever gotten! Even if one or two is wrong)
Book Club: Gauguin!
Woah!
Peter Rabbit.
That's all.
(Did Magellan have a mishap in the Spice Islands?)
