could not figure out much except 1, 15, 17, 20 and it would be a shame
for me not to figure out 17 and 20.

Carol responds:
Since I know or think I know exactly half the answere (ten of twenty),
I don't think that I'm any threat! The problem is, all of the answers
are supposed to be book titles and authors, yet number three, for
example, is a hit single by a female singer and another question is
the name of a park. (Maybe there's a book by that name, but I'm not
familiar with it.) Anyway, it was fun taking the quiz, but there's no
way that I'd embarrass myself by submitting my answers!
BTW, there's a link on that page to an article called "Byron, Shelley,
and Miss Havisham." That I have to read!
And the links to places to stay remind me of my near-daily commutes
from London House, a hostel for scholars where I was staying, to the
Bodleian Library in Oxford via the so-called Oxford Tube (either a bus
or a train--for some reason, it varied) in the hot (for England), dry
summer of 1995 (commemorated by JKR in OoP). I brought an umbrella
because it "always" rains in England and only got to use it once! (The
English, of course, don't know what "hot" is. They should try living
in southern Arizona.)
Carol, who got 1, 9, 10, 12, 13, 18, and possibly 3, 6, and 8
