Enjoy these Book Big Brain quizzes we've created for you, helping to test the Book knowledge you have.

Question 1

<B>Blade Runner</B>

The <I>Blade</I> comic books from Marvel
<I>Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?</I> by Philip K. Dick
<I>The Running Man</I> by Stephen King
<I>Rabbit, Run</I> by John Updike
The title for this dark, futuristic tale (starring Harrison Ford) was taken from another one of Dick´s books.

Question 2

<B>Stand By Me</B>

<I>The Stand</I> by Stephen King
The song <I>Stand By Me</I> by Ben E. King
<I>The Body</I> by Stephen King
<I>Stand Up For Liberty!</I> by George Phillies
<I>The Body</I> is a novella that appears in one of King´s collections.

Question 3

<B>The 13th Warrior</B>

<I>Eaters of the Dead</I> by Michael Crichton
<I>Catch 22</I> by Joseph Heller
<I>Twelve Angry Men</I> by Reginald Rose
<I>We Were Warriors Once and Young</I> by Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore (Ret.) and Joseph L. Galloway
Crichton wrote <I>Eaters of the Dead</I> on a bet -- it´s an adaptation of the epic tale of <I>Beowulf</I>, which one of his friends wagered could not be turned into an exciting story. Apparently the film industry found <I>Eaters of the Dead</I> to be too graphic a title even for them.

Question 4

<B>Wag the Dog</B>

<I>Clifford the Big Red Dog</I> by Norman Bridwell
<I>The Dogs of War</I> by Frederick Forsyth
<I>Black Dog</I> by Led Zeppelin
<I>American Hero</I> by Larry Beinhart
The movie adapts Beinhart´s conspiracy theory classic, in which George Bush (the elder) arranges to "produce" the Gulf War with the help of Hollywood to bring up his popularity, to a near-future, fictional administration. This is one of the many cases where the film, as good as it is, doesn´t measure up to the book.

Question 5

<B>Kiss Me, Kate</I>

<I>The Sexual Life of Catherine M.</I> by Catherine Millet
<I>The Taming of the Shrew</I> by William Shakespeare
<I>Catherine, Called Birdie</I> by Karen Cushman
<I>Catherine the Great</I> by Henri Troyat
The title of the musical was taken from a line in Shakespeare´s stage comedy.

Question 6

<B>Where the Buffalo Roam</B>

<I>Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas</I> by Hunter S. Thompson
<I>The Buffalo Soldier</I> by Chris A. Bohjalian

Thompson´s semi-fictional psychedelic rave was later adapted under its own name with Johnny Depp playing the good Doctor; <B>Where the Buffalo Roam</B> starred Bill Murray.
