I’m a little behind in watching my DVR’ed episodes of Jeopardy!, so I think the final round I watched last night actually aired sometime last week.
The category: Nineteenth-century Literature (ooh, baby– I’m betting it all, Alex!)
The clue: Blah, blah, blah…quote from book…Carpathians…blah, blah, blah
The contestants answer, What is: The Time Machine, Gulliver’s Travels, and Wuthering Heights.
All wrong!
Clearly, if they read romance, particularly #1 NYT bestselling author Christine Feehan‘s Dark series, they would have immediately associated Carpathians with vampires and come up with the correct response of Dracula.

One again, reading Romance pays off. But really, Gulliver’s Travels? That’s not even 19th Century.
