good quiz
:) Enjoyed this quiz anyway.
Dante's name is spelled wrong - Alighieri, not Alghieri
"And" should never be mandatory because people sometimes use an ampersand. The Jetpunk standard would accept "Pride Prejudice" and "Sense Sensibility", for instance.
Jerimiah = Jeremiah
Ezekial = Ezekiel
Really surprised that "Satanic Verses" was not the Rushdie opus included. The Hemingway novel is so little known that it wasn't even mentioned in an American literature class I took for my Master's degree!
Bravo to you for creating this challenging quiz! Now you need to get busy reading some of these that you evidently haven't read yet..."Gatsby" is close to a perfect novel, if there could be such a thing. "Poisonwood Bible" is a masterpeice. I know Moby Dick and "Don Quixote" aren't everyone's cup of tea, but try them, you might be surprised!
"Cold Comfort Farm" is loony and fun. "Rebecca" must surely be one of the most engrossing plots ever conceived. The main character of "Vanity Fair" is a real b..ch, but certainly memorable.
Thanks for bringing these masterworks into one big picture!
- Infinite Jest (currently misspelled Infiinte)
- Fahrenheit 451 (currently misspelled Farenheit)
I would also suggest accepting "The Count of Monte Cristo" since that's the actual title; currently you only accept it without "The", so I missed it.
Relatedly, I missed A Confederacy of Dunces because I didn't type in the "A". That's technically fair, since I didn't have the full title, but some of the other answers don't require the initial article, so you might want to revisit that decision.
Also, Charlotte Bronte is currently misspelled Charoltte, and Patricia Highsmith is misspelled Higsmith, but those are less of an issue since they're clues rather than answers.
And Hernandez's book is overwelmingly known as just Martin Fierro, so much that I had totally forgotten the full title and was baffled when I typed the name alone and wasn't accepted.
There are still quite a few mistakes, though, and some type-ins should be included. I've mentioned them above in another comment.
(Can't believe I'm the only one here who knows "The Blood of Flowers" by Anita Amirrezvani. I didn't think there would be many who guessed it, but I wasn't prepared for a 0 per cent. It's a good story, though. Really.)
I put in about seven correct answers but they would not click in. A strange ability I have is knowing the authors of books I have not even cracked open. Lol.
