The Dozen Words Game

Here's how it works. I picked a dozen words at random from each of eight books. Just from the words, which are whatever my finger lands upon, you guess the book. Even if you don't know all the books, just guess. It's like one of those matching worksheets we got for busy work in school, but fun and interesting.

a. Collected Works of Emily Dickinson
b. Asheville Yellow Pages
c. The Tao Te Ching
d. Night and Day by Woolf
e. The Great Gatsby
f. Mythologies by Barthes
g. Don Quixote
h. The Brothers Karamazov
