Coming Sunday: a Baltimore literary quiz

shooterSunday on Read Street, we'll take a look at a slice of our literary city: the reporters and editors of The Baltimore Sun who have written books. Their works span a range from mysteries to examinations of Maryland's government.

So stop back Sunday and take a 10-question quiz about these authors. One lucky quizling will win a book. Here's a sample question: His thrillers are populated with characters such as Bob Lee Swagger and overflow with machismo; one was made into the movie Shooter.

If you're feeling quizzical right now, try this mind-bender on literary opening lines, from AbeBooks.

I don't know the first thing about Maryland authors- the quiz sounds like fun.

About the blogger
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
