We come in fifth (or so), and although I am mildly ashamed that I couldn’t name Herman Melville as the author of Moby Dick<\/em> (I blanked!), I did correctly identify the cover of The Unbearable Lightness of Being<\/em>, the author of The Fight Club<\/em>, Prince’s “When Doves Cry,” the reason for the nickname “The Bean Belt,” and the commonality between a parliament, an exultation, and a murder.<\/p>\n How about you?
