DaVinci Code Author Cleared
A judge in London dismissed the copyright case against The Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown today.

According to USAToday's account, the victory is celebrated by writers:

Authors feared a chilling effect if Brown lost the case. "A novelist must be free to draw appropriately from historical works without fear that he'll be sued and forced to stand in a courtroom facing a series of allegations that call into question his very integrity as a person," Brown said in his statement.

Quiz Time
I just love taking tests and I love classic lit, so when I saw a How Bookish Are You? quiz, I had to participate. However, I was severely embarassed by my score, and I refuse to share it. But maybe you can beat me. It wouldn't take much. Give it a shot: http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/departments/adultlearning/?page=Quiz152&Quizid=152

I didn't do much better on the word origin quiz: http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/departments/adultlearning/?page=Quiz81&Quizid=81

Fortunately I found the spelling quiz and redeemed myself: http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/departments/adultlearning/?page=Quiz103&Quizid=103
