I got six, making the same mistake that mae did; I gave the character’s name when it asked ‘Who’ as opposed to ‘what book’.

I got 8 right.. kind of. I got everything wrong because when it asked “Who am I?” I thought it was asking the name of the author.. whoops!

Being a bibliophile and working at Barnes for three years has paid off, haha.

Julia,

My sympathies… I’m also a librarian and I only beat you by one (that would’ve been by two, if I had only chosen the correct Tolstoy novel ;-))

I got 0/10 After I saw the answers, I saw that I answered with the author’s name rather than the story’s name in 2 cases, so I got an ‘average’score.

I was shocked to get 6/10 on this. I only knew three for sure (Moby Dick, Of Mice and Men, Kavalier and Clay) and I guessed at three more of them.

Yeah, ignore that first comment. I just realized I also misspelled one of the names.

The last question doesn’t allow the word “and” instead of an ampersand? Really? That seems a little too picky to me.

I only got 2/10. I would have preferred being offered a choice of titles rather than typing in a name. Sour grapes? Yeah, probably…

Moby Dick’s original title is “Moby-Dick, or, The Whale,” so it looks like we all got it wrong.

Adrian: yes it does have a hyphen. Are you sure you’re spelling it correctly? We have many spelling options for that one in the answer key.

And, yeah, Kary, hyphen instead of “and” would def cause you to miss in a quiz like this.
