Which Stephen King Book? Quiz | HowStuffWorks

I sort of miss blunthead 's quizzes :) This one had a couple of tricky questions. I got them all, but a couple I had to work out using logic.
Okay - tried to go back in, but it recognized I messed up the first question - so my final score was 28/30 - I mixed up Thinner with The Regulators as
the first book where he was 'outed' as Richard Bachman

Eyes of the Dragon was going to be called The Napkins? I had never heard this in my whole life. Why was it going to be called that, do you know?
Remember how napkins were used in the story? I didn't know the answer to that question, but I assumed that was the answer because of their use in the narrative :)

In the hardcover edition, it's on the back dust jacket where the author photo is. He mentions the title but doesn't explain the "why" but skimom2 has the right idea with that.

At the start of his long stay in the Needle, Peter manages to send a note to the judge who convicted him, Anders Peyna, with the seemingly innocuous requests to have his mother's old dollhouse and napkins with his meals. Peyna is puzzled by the requests, but, seeing no harm in them, grants them. Five years later, Peter escapes from the Needle, having used the toy loom in the dollhouse and threads from the napkins to make a rope.

Holy crap! Obviously I need to read the book again. I totally don't remember this!
