For example: 50 entrant game = 2 pts per answer. If 4 people match that means they each get 8 pts for that answer. No matches = 0 points.

The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 4:30 PM Central on Friday, 8/08/08 whichever comes first.
Good luck!

I’m aware Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy had more than three books. But it’s all I could think of, and it was called the trilogy for a while…just an increasingly misnamed trilogy…
I’m not participating in this one, but I thought I should let you know that I own a volume entitled “The Xanth Trilogy”. It does indeed collect the first three Xanth novels.
For a while there I thought this was going to be the Edgar Rice Burroughs Feud
IOW, I have no idea. This was a common grading comment in Nuke school when the test taker’s answer was completely useless BS
Yes, I did a Wikipedia look up to check she’d been married that many times.
9 & 10. I can’t help comparing the title characters of these last two books. Old Yeller was not only smarter than Emma Bovary, but his death was both more poignant, and more dignified. (Granted, that was part of Flaubert’s point, but, still Emma would be so burned to think she’d been outshone by a dog. And I disliked her enough that this thought causes me to smile.)
ETA: Danielle Steele? Danielle Steele? She doesn’t write books! She commits fraud, describing logarhea as novels, and has managed to convince people she’s not a con artist!!! (mutters and kicks a few banana peels around in the back of his mind, while shouting for the invisible pink monkey to start gibbering again.)
Charlotte’s Web
Argh, I really can’t think of any good examples of any of these. Henry VIII was historical, but he’s been in several novels/plays. Besides, I can’t think of anyone else.
