    6. But I got right those I knew, and tried the luck in those I didnt know...
    All the time I was waiting for the famous quote about families with which Anna Karenina begins....but then it was all English-written literature, if I'm not wrong.

    10/13 also - not bad, considering a few of the questions I had no chance at answering correctly.

    8/13 I study literature... But I think I can forgive myself - only finished the first year. And it's only English and American literature that I study

    Well, I got 7/10. The results said something along the lines of this: "you're an avid reader but you haven't picked up a book in a while" (or roughly thereabouts...) I guess that quiz was pretty accurate
    "...if you weren't smart enough to get a pedophile in a dress to put a small amount of water on the child’s forehead, then what the eff did you think was going to happen?

    There are two quizes actually, Shallot, which I added just now to my first post in the thread. The second one might have more of the books you are familiar with...

    -Walt Whitman
    They have their worries, they’re counting the miles, they’re thinking about where to sleep tonight, how much money for gas, the weather, how they’ll get there—and all the time they’ll get there anyway, you see.

    Exclamation

    9/10 Missed The Scarlet Letter of all things, which I have read and I’ve never read Cujo, The Secret Garden, The Catcher in the Rye, or Jaws. , on my word of honor!

    12/13 second list Missed number three. I put Bleak House but no matter, I hadn't read either book... nor some of the others, Like Satanic Verses, never intend to read it... Good guesser!

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Woo-Hoo 10/10! (a couple of them were educated guesses)

    The second quiz took me down a peg or two......8/13 (I never claimed to be educated!)
