Your answer: Mario Puzo Mario Puzo was an author that was critically acclaimed, but could not make his previous books a hit. He promised that he would write a bestseller. "The Godfather" broke sales records by a margin that was unheard of before. "The Godfather", based on the story of Don Vito Corleone in the 1940s, is still a novel to be found in the market, nearly 50 years after it was published in 1969. 91% of FunTrivia players have answered this question correctly in the past.

Which British author wrote a number of Christmas stories including 'The Cricket on the Hearth', 'The Chimes' and 'The Haunted Man and the Ghost's Bargain', as well as the classic Christmas novel for which he is best remembered? Your answer: Charles Dickens Due to the popularity of Dickens' festive masterpiece 'A Christmas Carol' (which I didn't mention in the question for fear of making it too easy!), Charles Dickens has become associated with Christmas all over the world and many British traditions are connected with this timeless novel, for example, the establishment of turkey as the standard meat to be served at Christmas dinner. The enduring popularity of 'A Christmas Carol', along with other contemporary Yuletide innovations such as the introduction of the Christmas tree into British homes, has led the Victorian era to be regarded as something of a 'golden age of Christmas', with many later books, films, plays and television shows set at Christmas being set in Victorian England. Dickens' other Christmas stories, while not as well known, or indeed, perhaps as memorable or enduring as 'A Christmas Carol' are, nonetheless, charming in their own way. 93% of FunTrivia players have answered this question correctly in the past.

Your answer: A Game of Thrones In George R. R. Martin's "A Game of Thrones" (1996), the first volume of "A Song of Ice and Fire", one character tells another that the players in that game either win or die. As the civil war in Westeros begins, countless characters wind up in the second category. Patrick Rothfuss's "Name of the Wind" (2007) follows a brilliant adolescent, Kvothe, with a tragic past, a thirst for knowledge, and a knack for saying exactly the wrong thing at exactly the wrong time. Orson Scott Card began his "Alvin Maker" series with "Seventh Son" (1987), in which Alvin is born with a knack for magic in a frontier America just a bit different from the real 1800s. "Goblin Quest" (2006), by Jim C. Hines, is classic adventurer fantasy with one major twist: the goblin, usually nothing more than a rapidly slain foe in this type of book, is actually the hero of the tale. 93% of FunTrivia players have answered this question correctly in the past.

Your answer: Beowulf Gardner uses the novel "Grendel" to examine the monster from a philosophical point of view, particularly that of Jean-Paul Sartre. Irony stems from the fact that the "monster" Grendel is revealed to have a much deeper understanding of morality than the "hero" Beowulf. 93% of FunTrivia players have answered this question correctly in the past.
