I think it's a reference to "Portnoy's Complaint" by Philip Roth, because his other book "American Pastoral" is also on this quiz

Nitpicking a bit here, but Long Walk to Freedom is most definitely not a "novel."

"Paradise Lost" is an epic poem, not a novel.

Why does everyone seem to think the quiz is just about novels? The name of the quiz only includes the term 'Book titles' and the instructions are clear. Great quiz BTW!

The title was Novel Titles for a bit. The instructions always said book titles though and specified that the quiz includes non-fiction, poetry and plays. I changed the title as people don't read the instructions and it's clearer this way.

I am ashamed of not getting Notes. My mind kept insisting it was Tales, and I just couldn't come up with the right answer in time

Omg I really should read instructions before starting a quiz. I tried to guess the first word of the books, instead of the first word of the titles. Still somehow got 9/24 lol
