Last Week's Oranges

In our local book club last week, we had a quiz, to kick things off. The book club theme was Oranges, so the quiz had 9 purported titles. You had to mark the ones you thought were real books, who wrote them, if you marked them as books. Others were films, LP- I mean albums, or other cultural things. One was a red herring.
