Kept trying to come up with a word with F that would mean carpet.

Just a small thing, but I believe it's 'Fahrenheit-451' with a dash.

Nope. Dr Faustus was the character in the play by Christopher Marlowe. Goethe's character is called Faust.

I feel like the fatwa one really isn't a good fit for this quiz. Its connection to literature is REALLY tenuous. Just because one was issued once, calling for the death of an author, doesn't really make it a literature thing in my opinion. But then I'm not the quizmaker I suppose.

Yea it doesnt belong in a literary quiz imo (unless ofcourse it is about a book written in the subject for instance).

otherwise you could use jack because he got thrown a book at him. Or table, if someone uses it to stabalize it if one leg is shorter.

Technically Aladdin never uses a flying carpet in the original story (in One Thousand and One Nights), that was only added in the Disney adaptaion.

The flying carpet is used in another story in One Thousand and One Nights about 3 princes.
