4/6
1) Capote 2/2 Couldn't identify the language of the first two books, which makes this a much easier question.
2) Contrabassoon 3/3 Should get points here in one of my weakest categories. But I was a saxophonist in my youth, and after deciding it couldn't be the baritone sax as the instrument in question has only two versions, I remembered the contrabassoon.
3) Scarface 0/1 Gimme of the day
4) Shul 2/0 okay, this is really the gimme of the day, at least on this blog. I never thought of the derivation of the word before
5) Persepolis 1/1 This is a comic book question for me. I know from 300 (originally a comic) that Xerxes is Persian, and there is a recent graphic novel Persepolis about a girl growing up in and escaping Tehran. I wasn't 100% as Persepolis sounds Greek and not Persian, but it fit.
6) Carbuncle 1/2 Tip of my tongue, I had the first two letters, but couldn't come up with it.
