I mean, there are plays, poetry and all are in books, so is that ok for "literary adventure," or is a novel more what people are going to think of? I have a quote that's been heard a zillion times, but it's from a play, although I've seen the play in book form. So is that stretching it?

| Literary can mean any of those things. A line from a play is no stretch at all. Believe me there will be several Shakespeare entries. |

| Yeah my mind went to Shakespeare first. |

Well, this isn't Shakespeare and although it was originally written for the theatre, it was then made into a movie and I can just hear it now "This isn't a book, this is a movie." And to explain it, my title would just be so flippin' long that it'd turn people off. SIGH
Back to the drawing board.

I think titling for this challenge is going to be difficult....and, as always, it will be hard to know what your audience will understand or recognize. Hopefully, there will be a great deal of latitude and trust excercised by the voters.
Meanwhile, how about using a brief quote for the title followed by, for example, (O'Neill 1920) or (Shakespeare). |

| The challenge says to photograph a scene, title, characterization, or quote from a book. You'll probablly get knocked down for DNMC if you choose a play (unless you explain it's also a book!) |

| I think if you just use a quote followed by the writer's name, people will assume it's literary. You don't have to say if it's a play, a novel, or whatever. |

Any play that's been published is in a "book." It's not like DPCers are going to look up every quote and make sure that it appeared in an actual book... Well, maybe those people who are counting pixels in the Square challenge will...
