Trivial Pursuit for Book Lovers
Children’s: What book did Dr. Seuss write to win a $50 bet that he couldn’t write a book with only 50 words?
Classics: What E.M. Forster novel tells the tale of how trading spaces finally leads to love?
Non-Fiction: What baseball legend’s lifelong friendship with Dom DiMaggio, Bobby Doerr and Johnny Pesky led David Halberstam to write The Teammates?
Book Club: What novelist kicks off the Warlord Chronicles, his take on Arthurian legends, with The Winter King?
Authors: Who wrote the play Putter for the Floating Lady to help sort out his feelings after breaking up with Anne Heche?
Book Bag: What media-savvy chef added a dash of the restaurant business into his crime novels Bone in the Throat and Gone Bamboo?
I don’t know any of these but I’m going to guess Ted Williams for Non-Fiction.
Children’s: Green Eggs and Ham
Classics: Howard’s End? I’m not sure what is meant by “trading spaces,” exactly.
Non-Fiction: Ted Williams
Book Club: ?

Book Bag: Bourdain
I think the card means “trading spaces” pretty literally.
I think the first one is Cat in the Hat. Could be Green Eggs and Ham, I’m not sure.
E. M. Forster is A Room with a View.
Book Bag is definitely Anthony Bourdain. I’ve read one of his novels and it was just awful.
Children’s: Green Eggs and Ham
Classics: A Room With a View
