This quiz is a follow-up to Books and Authors [Part 1]. You should have quite a large collection of books that you have already read, books that in many cases are quite classic. Whenever you read a book, besides knowing the name of the book, it really is as important to know who the author of the book is.

Knowing the author can give you a lot of insight into the storyline. It can also help you make future reading choices, especially when you find an author or two that amaze you.
