Think you know plenty about books?

Then try The Guardian’s 2008 book quiz.

I scored 16 out of 33 which apparently is, “Not entirely bad. You’ve clearly read a few books. Just not very many”. Not many. Bah. 57 and counting!

I must confess though, several of my answers were guesses. Some educated. Some wild.

I got 15 – which said the same as 16. Some of it was very obscure ;>)) However, I am sure that if I had researched the answer I would have done better. That’s what being a good librarian is all about!

Yep, and to “obscure” I’d add “English”(mind you, it is an English site), and “about Salman Rushdie”.

I scored 14 and was told, “You probably hadn’t gathered this, but they’re still publishing new books – you really should go check them out.”

Charming.
