Logic-Grid
Logic Grid puzzles come with a handy interactive grid that will help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues.Logic-Grid
The Daly City Book Group meets every Wednesday for lunch. One week, Paul, Kate, Mike, and Tina all sat at the same table and talked about their favorite book genres, favorite authors, and, of course, their favorite books (one of which was "To Kill a Mockingbird"). Interestingly enough, each person liked books and authors that didn't always match their favorite genre style. Can you determine from the clues below each person's reading preferences?
1. Kate enjoys Charles Dickens, but does not like reading biographies. Paul, on the other hand, prefers an American author.
2. "The Color Purple" fan has never read a romance novel, nor has he read anything by Ernest Hemingway.
3. During lunch, Mike sat between the biography fan and the person who likes science fiction. He noticed that the science fiction fan was holding a copy of her favorite book, "Little Women".
4. Although some of Shakespeare's plays could be considered romantic, the person who reads romance novels can't stand his writing!
5. The four people who shared a table were: Paul, the woman who loves John Steinbeck books, the mystery fan, and the person who reads "Lord of the Rings" every year.

Hey dswilborn!
Great Logic Grid puzzle!
I spent about ten minutes doing it.. but I put romance and Lord of the Rings with Tina, and Kate had whatever Tina was supposed to have. LOL.. I got the guys correct though
Overall and awesome teaser! I've always been interested in Logic Grid's.. my grandma got me into them and I LOVE them.. I used to do REALLY easy ones when I was little (only 3 choices) but your one was quite a challenge, but I like a challenge. Kinda disappointed I got Tina and Kate incorrect
But I'll live
Sorry about posting lots! I just liked your teaser

I liked how to do this, you needed to know which authors were American. I hope to see more logic grids where you might have to look up some information to solve it.
That's why the American authors were listed in the hint.
You said that the romance novel person was a boy
Good one...thanks! It's nice when you don't give us all the answers but we actually have to really read the clues and THINK!
mru, she did not say the romance person was male... she said "HE never read a romance..."
Very fun and challenging teaser, duchess. It took me about 7 minutes, but I finally got it
