Test Your Literature IQ…How Well Do You Really Know Books?

From PWxyz: The news blog of Publishers Weekly--

"Let’s say it’s a slow afternoon at work. Let’s say you like books. You can’t read at work, because that’d be too obvious. So what do you do?

There aren’t enough literary timewasters online (you can only paste so many text chunks into I Write Like before you get angry at seeing you write just like Dan Brown), but there is Sporcle.

Sporcle is a massive quiz website. How massive? 6,000 quizzes (and almost 200,000 user-created quizzes). Luckily for bookworms out there, there’s a category for “Literature.” 

Here are some of our favorite quizzes at PW to get you started:

*Can you name these books from their famous opening lines?

*And how about from their last page lines?

*How many of the Modern Library 100 can you name?

*Can you name the works of literature from their less exciting versions?

*And something just for the book lover who also happens to love cats.

Just don’t blame us if your work productivity plummets."
