Test yourself (again)

Pop quiz

Didn’t do so well last time did you?

Never mind. That was six months ago.

Armed with a child’s size four fistful of courage and a headful of book trivia, it’s time to make your way across the troll-guarded literary knowledge bridge once more.

Here’s a chance to show your book smarts one more time and possibly redeem yourself.

There’s a saying – a picture is worth a thousand words. You may have heard of it.

So crazy thing… try to name these famous covers of well-known novels.

If you’ve got even an inkling on a summer breeze you may be correct, scroll to the bottom very, very slowly. Pass mark to be considered a professional amateur is an uber modest 1/6. Anything more, like maybe 2/6, gets you a big yahoo.

Get them all correct and you go into the draw to win a one-way ticket aboard a luxury cruise ship. See ticket below.

Titanic Ticket

But please… with all the sugar – no mobile devices allowed.

At least until you’ve tried the old-fashioned mental catalogue way first.

  1. 4 outta 6

    … missed The Rose Project and Lord of the Flies. TRP, I’ve never heard of and I was thinking The Jungle Book for LOTF, but I knew that wasn’t the right timeframe. 🙂

  2. I’m rather chuffed to have scored on Moby Dick and Life of Pi. I was leaning towards Lord Of The Flies, but then figured the cover was not dramatic enough for such a dark story. I then went rather pathetically for Paradise Lost.

Whadda ya reckon? If you're feeling it, why not go ahead and leave a comment.
