Sigh...typed Angels and Demons for Robert Langdon. I know Da Vinci Code was more popular, but Angels and Demons was FAR more the superior novel...plus I couldn't think of the title of The Da Vinci Code, so there's that...

Yeah, but the lost symbol wasn't any good. I barely finished it. And the most recent one, I stopped reading halfway through.

I find that the whole series makes for very enjoyable reads - if you read them fast enough, so you don't have time to really think about them. They're fascinating and fast-paced, and take you places. Ideal for vacations. But the endings are always sooooo disappointing.

Could 'Millennium Series' work for Lisbeth Salander? The instructions say to enter the book and series and that is the name of the series she features in.

Please add 1001 Nights as an acceptable answer -- that's its actual name. "Arabian" was added later on when the stories were imported to the Occient.

Emma Bovary in Madame Bovary and Lemuel Gulliver in Gulliver's Travels? Really? You couldn't have thought of something a bit less obvious??

I tried "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest" which didn't work, so then went with the first in the series ("The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"), which did work. Think any of the titles should be accepted.

Why is only The Da Vinci Code accepted for Robert Langdon? The character appears in multiple books by Dan Brown (in order: Angels & Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, Origin), so either one should work

I would never guess that 'Circe' mean 'Kirki'.
