3. The Autobiography of Howard Hughes. Faked memoirs have become a dime a dozen, but the grandaddy of them all was the "as told to" story about reclusive billionaire Howard Hughes. Clifford Irving and Richard Suskind had the gall to market their "autobiography" while Hughes was still alive, reasoning that he wouldn't go public to denounce their scam. After making a deal to sell the manuscript to McGraw Hill Publishing, Irving and Suskind found that they'd guessed wrong, when Hughes arranged a telephone conference call with several journalists. Irving eventually spent 17 months in prison, and Suskind, five.

Name the 2007 movie about the scandal that starred actor Richard Gere as Irving.

4. In 1940s Australia a prominent literary magazine published a poem by an author who supposedly had tragically had died at age 25. It turned out that the poet had never existed, that the supposedly brilliant lines were random nonsense, and that the hoax was intended to expose a pretentious literary elite. The magazine's editor not only became a public laughing-stock, he later faced trial on obscenity charges in connection with the hoax.

What 2003 novel by Booker Prize-winner Peter Carey was based on the incident?

5. James Frey made a big splash with A Million Little Pieces, a gripping memoir that dealt with drug addiction and other horrors. Oprah selected it for her book club, making it an instant best-seller, and interviewed Frey on her show. But later reporting showed that Frey had heightened the drama of his tale by embellishing key scenes. That didn't end Frey's writing career; he came back last year with a novel.

Name that novel, released in March 2008.
