I did not know Dorothy's last name. Interesting.

Yes I thought this was a good quiz -- hard, but fun

Never thought of Jesus as a "character in a book"...and it's "the" not "a" in "One Flew Over THE Cuckoo's Nest".

I got 18. I'm pretty mad at myself for missing Gregor Samsa, though. I read "The Metamorphosis" just this week!

"Notre Dame de Paris" is the title of the book. "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" was the Disney movie based on it.

The quiz is correct for English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hunchback_of_Notre-Dame

You could also accept "Rosencrantz & Guildenstern Are Dead" (1966) by Tom Stoppard

Can you accept Illyad and illiad as well for the spelling of Iliad (which I think I tried and didn't work). Just a bit frustrating when you can't quite get what's required!

Illiad would have worked.

Notre Dame de Paris is also the name of the book in several English editions. It should at least be accepted in addition to the other title.

Please accept "the new testament" for "Jesus". The Bible can also refer to the Hebrew Bible, which Jesus isn't in. Thanks!

I agree with @cfox88. I got 13/25 and the only one I've actually read is Hamlet
2011-11-09 | reply
cfox88, I really like your thinking! That was actually the first play that came to mind, but when you think about it, they really are characters created by Shakespeare that appear in Hamlet. Even in Stoppard's play, they are essentially still in the play Hamlet.

This is the second quiz with Watership Down in it, and both times it is very near the least recognized. If you haven't read this book, I encourage you to do so. One of my favorites of all time, and one I periodically reread. I expect the quiz maker is a fan.
