How well do you know the famous opening lines of literature? Here's a quiz to find out! - http://thebookquiz.com/multiple-choic...

I got 7/10.

Srividya Vijapure (theinkedmermaid) | 221 comments I got 4/10 :( Guess I need to remember the lines better :)

message 5: by dely (new)

dely I got 5 but like Iasa, following my intuition and by elimination.


Cindy (BKind2Books) (bkind2books) | 1190 comments 6/10 - but several of those I missed I had not read and got down to 2 and guessed wrong. Others were old age - could not remember if the opening line was 1984 or Brave New World. Still not bad - said that it was better than average.

Hell yes!

message 12: by Melissa (new)

Melissa Coyle | 1557 comments 4, all were guesses and have not read most or it has been quite a while for some.


message 13: by Tracey (new)

Tracey | 916 comments 6/10 - really pretty good considering I had to guess for a lot of them. I had only been sure on 2 of them.


message 14: by Gavin (new)

Gavin (thewalkingdude) | 209 comments 6/10 I'll get to all those someday. I will!


message 15: by Camille (new)

Camille (camillesbookishadventures) 6/10 for me. I just read I Capture the Castle so one of the questions was easy.

There's been a lot of 4s and 6s!


message 17: by Clare (new)

Clare | 34 comments I got 5 but most were guesses :-)


Brenda (aka Grandma) | 278 comments I got 7, which is amazing because I haven't even heard of some of those books. I think I knew 4.

message 28: by Happy (new)

Happy (worldhasteeth) I got 9/10. If it hadn't been multiple choice, I could have named 3 of them.


message 29: by Nancy (new)

Nancy Brady (minesayn) | 202 comments 6 of 10, but several were just pure guesses as I have never read them.


message 30: by Marina (new)

Marina (sonnenbarke) I got 9/10, but some I guessed :-P


message 31: by Deborah (new)

Deborah Pickstone | 563 comments 9/10 - 2 were guesses...or deductions, perhaps!


message 32: by Julie (new)

Julie (missjulsy) I know that I got at least 5/10 because that's how many I've read and remembered the first line from for sure. As for my actual score, I have no clue what I got because when I finished the quiz it refused to show me my results in an attempt to make me start the quiz from the beginning.


Erin *Proud Book Hoarder* (erinpaperbackstash) I got 7/10, which is almost miraculous since I tend to reek at classic lit quizzes.


message 34: by Nancy (new)

Nancy Brady (minesayn) | 202 comments I got 8/10, but I made some lucky guesses. Some I definitely knew having read them, but others....well


message 35: by Julie (new)

Julie Landers I got 2 out of 10. I don't think I knew any of them but, I guessed.


message 36: by Agnik (new)

Agnik | 52 comments I got three but I only knew 1
