Level 59

Oct 19, 2013

"Walden" is neither a poem, a play or a novel.

Level 64

Apr 21, 2016

Agreed. Wiki (the standard reference for here) classes it as "memoir."i

Level 65

Jan 22, 2018

The subtitle of the quiz says "Could be..." That doesn't mean it is. It could be something else, too, like a memoir.

Level 76

Nov 26, 2023

But it is, most definitely, a book. The caveat is more for people who would complain that poems and plays aren't books.

Level 74

Dec 14, 2014

Orphans, pickpockets could be The Thief Lord

Level 76

Apr 20, 2016

Artful dodger is quite specific.

Level 77

Apr 20, 2016

Wonder what kinda book "castaway, Friday, cannabis" would've made. Took a while to get that one.

Level 89

Apr 20, 2016

He spent thirty years smoking weed every Friday.

Level 82

Apr 20, 2016

Nice selection of books. I got everything except for Slaughterhouse Five.

Level 88

Apr 20, 2016

Gah! I've read Heart of Darkness, but I couldn't come up with the title! I kept thinking "Into the Darkness." :(

Level 55

Apr 20, 2016

Heart of Darkness is a short story, not a book, so that should be added to the subheading

Level 48

Apr 22, 2016

Really? That was quite a think short story I read then.

Level 32

Apr 22, 2016

Its only 100 pages... That's a short story

Level 84

Apr 20, 2017

There's simply no requirement for a story to be over 100 pages to be considered a book. Many classic books are less than 100 pages.

Level 76

Aug 1, 2023

First, 100 pages is far too long to be a short story. It's a novella. Second, a "book" doesn't have to be any specific length. Green Eggs an Ham can be read by an adult reader in less than a minute, but it's still a "book."

Level 58

Apr 20, 2016

Can I have "Ilias" for the Illiad?

Level 32

Apr 22, 2016

No, its called the Iliad, therefore, Ilias would be wrong

Level 40

Apr 20, 2016

Requiring the hyphen for moby dick is harsh!

Level 55

Apr 20, 2016

Punctuation is never required for answers on JetPunk. It shows up as the final, technically-correct answer, but putting in "Moby Dick" would have worked. Heck, I don't even bother with capitalization or spaces on here anymore. "mobydick" works just fine. :)

Level 82

Apr 20, 2016

" mO-By( )===) dIcK "also works. I just tried it.

Level 47

Apr 21, 2016

isnt oliver good for pickpocket

Level 32

Apr 22, 2016

That would be the musical rather than the book

Level 47

Apr 21, 2016

just oliver instead of oliver twist

Level 48

Apr 22, 2016

How many have everyone read? I've read 6 of these - including one I missed.

Level 32

Apr 22, 2016

Ive read 11

Level 37

Apr 22, 2016

6 for me too :)

Level 63

Sep 27, 2016

I've read 7: To Kill a Mockingbird, Robinson Crusoe, Life of Pi, Iliad, Hamlet, Matilda, and the Phantom Tollbooth.

Level 86

Oct 18, 2018

7 for me, most of which were required reading in high school. But unlike some others, most of the ones from this list were ones I was happy to read.

Level 73

Feb 11, 2021

I've read 10 and I've tried Heart of Darkness as an audiobook, but it didn't work out. I might try to read it in a year or ten...

Level 76

Aug 1, 2023

I've definitely read 12, possibly 13 if the edition of Robinson Crusoe I read as a kid wasn't abridged (which it quite possibly was.) 12.5, maybe?

Level 39

Apr 22, 2016

I find this quizz too English-speaking-oriented. I know it's an American site and all that, but still, it doesn't hurt to know literature from all over the world, does it?

Level 37

May 1, 2016

Well yeah. Unsurprisingly, most English-speaking people spend their times speaking and reading in English, just like Urdu-speakers speak and read Urdu, and Spanish-speakers speak and read Spanish, etc.

Even if they did put foreign-language literature on this list, it would be difficult to come up with answers for that. For example, "Cien Años de Soledad" is generally translated in English as "One Hundred Years of Solitude". However, in some areas "soledad" means "loneliness", so it could be translated as "One Hundred Years of Loneliness". Whose to say which one is "correct"? Or are we expecting people to be able to spell and understand original names like "Hong lou meng"/红楼梦 which is "Dream of the Red Chamber"?

Just food for thought.

Level 69

Jan 9, 2018

Books get translated and then they have an official English/German/Spanish name, so it won't be a problem. For example Jane Eyre is in Finnish Kotiopettajattaren romaani (governesses's novel) and LOTR in Swedish Sagan om ringen (story of the ring) and there's no arguing about 'real names' in any quiz. And in many countries translated books are almost as popular as books originally written in that language.

Level 55

Apr 23, 2016

I saw telekinesis and typed "Carrie". Strange that the actual answer is also a single word and a girl's name.

Level 69

May 1, 2016

"Heart of Darkness" only 33%? Shame, it's a fantastic book (and written by a Pole, which gives it extra point ;) )

Level 79

Mar 24, 2021

I am familiar with the tale but haven't actually read it. I'm putting it on my reading list.

Level 78

Aug 31, 2022

It's quite short, and worth reading.

Level 72

Aug 28, 2016

Never even heard of Walden or the Phantom Tollbooth.

Level 64

Mar 29, 2022

Hamlet is, like, a play? Like, so, not a book?

Level 78

Aug 31, 2022

Nothing gets past you.

Level 76

Aug 1, 2023

Books can contain many things, including plays.

Level 72

Dec 9, 2023

Can we maybe be a bit more generous and accept things like "Game of Thrones" and "Huckleberry Finn"
