GET LIT (ALL WEEKEND LONG): Win a copy of Hollywood Hellraisers

Welcome to Book Quarterly Trivia Week! From now till June 23, we'll be inundating you with opportunities to win free copies of books from our Summer BQ. For the first time in BQTW's history, we've got copies of every single book we've reviewed, previewed and shouted out (even in Icepack!). So keep an eye out at 9 a.m., noon and 3 p.m. every day for plenty of chances to win. Skyhorse, 336 pp., $24.95, July 13 To round out the weekend, we're giving away a copy of Robert Sellers' Hollywood Hellraisers: The Wild Lives and Fast Times of Marlon Brando, Dennis Hopper, Warren Beatty, and Jack Nicholson. While Janet Anderson concedes this ain't Pulitzer-worthy copy, she enjoyed the gossip-fest nonetheless: British author Robert Sellers explores the hair-raising escapades of the aforementioned film legends, all of whom were much more than troublemakers — they were really bad, and they liked it that way. If much of the inflammatory information didn't come from quoted sources, you'd be inclined to think the account of this naughty foursome's high jinks came straight from the tabloids. But it all seems to be true, testifying to the bold, fearless, lusty personalities of these guys. They recklessly pursued women, drank excessively and tried every drug available. To win a copy of Hollywood Hellraisers, answer the following trivia question:
