Fun!! There were five books in the quiz I haven't read (Twilight, Hunger Games, The Da Vinci Code, The Great Gatsby and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) but the clues contained enough information for me to guess correctly on those. More like this, please.

So glad Atlas Shrugged is on here. One of my favorite books. Don't really think Twilight and Hunger Games quite fit though.

Funny you should say that. Ayn Rand would probably love the Hunger Games. She'd see Panem as utopian rather than dystopian.

I don't see why you would say that, you've obviously never read much of her work... She was a big believer and advocate for individual right... That's kind of the opposite of Panem

Yeah, dude – why throw out a zinger like that if you're unfamiliar with her work? I mean, I hate her politics too, but that was pretty little league. The woman was an extreme capitalist, an extreme libertarian, and would have BEEN President Coin in the Hunger Games series. Come to think of it, they both had that stick-straight, stringy hair... hmm...

I can live with Atlas Shugged on a list of "literature", but not Twilight or ANYTHING by Dan Brown. I'm just thanking our lucky stars that Fifty Shades didn't turn up, too ;-)

It helps that I've read most of these and seen the movies for almost all of the remaining ones. The only exceptions are Don Quixote, Dune, and (thank God) Twilight, which I knew enough about to get anyway.

Don Quixote is great fun, or if you like musicals, its (loose-ish) adaptation, "Man of La Mancha".

The fact that Dune is lower than Atlas Shrugged made me throw up a little.

I don't get all the Atlas Shrugged hate. "It's not real literature" and "I threw up a little" is really unbecoming. You can disagree with the themes of the book, which many people clearly do, but there's little doubt that it's still a hugely influential and popular book 50+ years after its release (and therefore has a place on this list). I don't think we'll be talking about Twilight or the Da Vinci Code 50 years from now.

At first I was happy to be learning how to read. It seemed exciting and magical, but then I read this: Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand. I read every last word of this garbage, and because of this piece of crap, I am never reading again!

I have twice attempted Atlas Shrugged, twice failed. It is overlong, its plot is weak and meandering and it is in truth a long-winded political treatise thinly disguised as a novel. Somehow it manages to be incredibly boring whilst simultaneously stirring feelings of unease bordering on disgust for its profound nastiness and the constant ooze of bile between every word.

Not really familiar with Brave New World. Fahrenheit 451 works for at least two of those clues though I'm not sure what Soma means.

Level 56

Soma is the euphoric drug that is administered to the populace in Brave New World, which keeps them from bothering to ask questions about the way things are. You're right, though, that it's the only clue that sets it apart from Fahrenheit 451.

Brave New World is quite similar in set up to 1984, but it's still a very good book. Worth a read, assuming you like 1984.

1984 is obviously a masterpiece but somehow 'like' doesn't quite fit the bill. Deeply unsettling and chilling, which is of course rather the point.

I got "Brave New World" but I agree the clue isn't the best. The dystopia part is especially very vague--that could describe so many books. Can you change it maybe to something like "Genetic Engineering" or "Ford" (since they essentially worship Henry Ford) or something else similar?

On a different note, "Brave New World" is definitely worth reading. It's probably one of the most frightening and prescient dystopian novels I've read, mostly because I often see its themes unfolding before my eyes every day. If you read it, you'll probably see what I mean.

I have a feeling that most of the people commenting on Atlas Shrugged have probably never read it or if they did, then they probably didn't understand it. I personally think it's a very well written book and has a lot more artistic and philisophical value than some of the other novels on this quiz

At the very least it has pacing issues. Not to mention the extraordinarily long monologue that's just bad. The book spends way too many pages using cartoonish tropes to show, not tell, and then suddenly is like, "Nah, I'll just tell it all!" Regardless of the philosophy, it's not a well written book.

Interesting thing about "Brave New World" is that it may be a plagiarism. In 1948 Polish author Mieczysław Smolarski pointed out many similarities between his two earlier books (published in 1924 and 1928) in an open letter to A. Huxley. Huxley never replied. The issue has been raised once again in 1982 and examined by PEN Club, but never resolved and remains controversial.

Definitely a plagiarism. He stole the title from Shakespeare, who of course never plagiarized any of his plots from anyone ;)

Miserables as a type-in for Les Misérables might be a nice addition.

But no one has ever called it that. You can leave off "The" from works like The Great Gatsby, The Grapes of Wrath, or The Three Musketeers and people will still know perfectly well what you're talking about, but very few people would immediately realize what "Miserables" is referring to.

Can I just point out there is a distinct lack of variability between these literature quizzes. I mean, aside from the fact most book quizzes seem to be about bloody Harry Potter, the answers are just recycled between these quizzes.

I can just type Lord of the flies, brave new world, Les mis, the Scarlett letter as generic responses it feels like. And a few more at that!

There's literally millions of books out there, and y'all are just going for a lot of populist bull****. Admittedly, there's some great books in there.... And then you line them up along side twilight and the da Vinci code!

What a cultural cul de sac

Astonished that Fear and Loathing has such a low score with Jetpunkers. Part of the book's title is in the clue for heaven's sake, it's American and it was the subject of a mad film of the same name starring Johnny Depp and the fantastic Benicio del Toro.

Two things: isn't it a plane crash in Lord of the Flies, not a shipwreck, and I wish soma was in italics since it's italicized every time it's written in Brave New World.
