The Mill on the Floss - George Eliot (never read it)
and
Hard Times - Charles Dickens (never read it either)

English Literatur was never my strongpoint. I have read some of the books on the list, but only once. I am actually suprised that whiney the pooh was not present on the page.

All in all though, I have not read allot of classical english, I have mainly read the popular classics and educational/informitive books. Also alot of war related novels. However I am always in search of a good read. Any suggestions.

16-20

Don't. I got a 0. :confused:
I didn't read any of those books, though. So I'm not too worried :D

At least there is someone ou there who knows about as much as I do about classic english literature.:)

I got 5... There were a few titles I had never heard of :D

I got three, but largely because I got really lazy and started to click on answer before I'd finished the line. *blushing emoticon* (whatever happened to that thing?) It's stupid though, because I definately knew some of them.. oh, actually it's kind of funny: I confused a Bronte with Austen~!!! :p

Try doing the other tests. I got almost all of the Sci-Fi questions, very few of the English Literature one's though.

I only know Jane Austen stuff cause I just recently read them and Tale of Two Cities even though I've never read it. I haven't been reading classics lately cause college has been very stressful and requires a load of work. :|

I only knew four. Which is stupid because I'm familiar with five of them. Well, Pride and Prejudice I just started today, so that was a shoe-in.

I dont get the whole test. Are u supposed to know what book it is just by reading and extract without even getting any alternatives to choose from?? Hopeless. The only english litterature I have read is Jane Austen and Emily Bronte ( atleast as far as I can remember) so I would probably not have succeeded anyway...

Well, the name "Emma Woodhouse" should give you a very obvious clue. :D

Yeah, that helped. ;)
