For some authors, two names are just not enough. Good luck giving me the first and last names of these authors from the past and present.
I hope that you’ll try your hand at my (mostly) bookish quizzes every week, but it’s okay if you just want to play when the quiz interests you. If you play you are eligible for a prize at the end of the round (sometime in June). For all of the details, click here. Submit your answers in the comment section – I will stop by and hide them throughout the week but try not to copy off anyone else 
You have til Sunday to guess.

I’ll have to see if I can do a better job of stumping you this week. You were the only one to get Randy Wayne White correct 🙂 76.5 points. (5 points for both Tolkien and Fitzgerald since they are not here)
That’s funny that I was the only one. I recently listened to one of his books (Gone) and didn’t like it so the name was still fresh in my mind.
