One of the more than 60 games featured in GLADSTONE'S GAMES TO GO is called Initialist. Players are given pairs of initials and race to match them with famous names. For example, given the initials GG, players might come up with Greta Garbo, Graham Greene or Gary Gilmore.
In this special puzzle, based on Initialist, the focus is on writers. Game guru Jim Gladstone has created 12 pairs of initials by writing the words BEACH READING and BOOKREPORTER in parallel columns. Next to each initial pair is a clue to the name of an author. You'll need to tap a wide range of ‘book smarts' to solve some of these toughies, which run the gamut from pop favorites to highbrow classics. Since this puzzle marks the beginning of beach reading season, feel free to surf the web for answers if you get stuck!
