    I'm not sure if I'm supposed to post another question.

    Here's another one:

    Who got the Nobel Prize in Literature first:

    Pearl S. Buck or George Bernard Shaw

    If you get the question correct, you may either post a different question or you may skip and allow someone else to post.

    The first Harry Potter Novel OR The lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe

    Wow. My husband is reading both their biographies right now. I asked him the answer and he said he hadn't gotten that far yet. What's the story on their deaths, Carmina?

    Madonna is the debut album by Madonna was released on July 27, 1983 by Sire Records. Thriller is the sixth studio album by Michael Jackson. The album was released on November 30, 1982 by Epic Records. Therefore...Michael Jackson's Thriller came first.
