The Next Best Book Club discussion

This is a fun site for quizzing yourself on literature (specific books, specific authors, books in general). A total time suck, for sure, but I thought everyone might enjoy it. :-)

Literature Trivia

There went an hour of my life!

Charity, thanks, some of those are really fun.We should create a quiz ourselves for the books we are reading... See how many questions everyone can guess correctly. That would be fun!

Hm, I see a possible new addiction in my life. I scored 100% on the Ramona Quimby quiz. I can't believe I remembered all of that. I've re-read some of Beverly Cleary's books this year but none of the questions were in any of the books I've read. I absolutely have to go to bed now but I'll be visiting that site again tomorrow. Thanks for posting it.

Oh oh, don't know if I should have clicked on this. I've done one quiz and am itching to do more but I must do some work, hm, maybe one more !!!

Oh, I don't know if I should even go there---but I'll have to! Thanks. I love taking quizzes of any kind. Combine that with my love of books and the fact that I have an addictive personality and we've got trouble. :-)

I'll save this for the weekend!

I am afraid of clicking on the link. I came twice already to this post and everytime have to tell me not to go and check it out...because I know what will happen(see what happened to Lori and you will know what will happen to me).

oh boy. this is soooo not what i needed to find. oh well, more bookish stuff to play with!!

thanks for posting this!

I finally looked at this thread and agree with Jeane... not a good idea. I'm sure I will anyway, though. I am not the willpower princess :)

I have just taken that quiz and I haven't heard of the Tinder Box story before. Sorry! :) But it sounds like an interesting story and it reminded me of a Brothers Grimm story called "The Blue Light" where a soldier calls upon a dwarf everytime he lits up a magic pipe.

The Tinder Box is one of my favorite fairy tales! I took the quiz and did pretty good, got 9 out 0f 10. The only one I got wrong was the question about the innaccessible golden apple, The Glass Mountain, but that's because I thought it was just another name for the Black Bull of Norroway.

Well, I clearly finished at the low end of the curve on my Hobbit quizz. (Never was big on genealogy, unfortunately. But it was fun!
