How did you do?????

[Aristus]

1. 7/10.

I haven't read Game Of Thrones or His Dark Materials.

[Paulie]

24. His Dark Materials is a fun trilogy

Worth the time. Having a demon to chat with when soon paperwork would be quote useful.

[petronius]

2. 5/10 on my first try - four I knew for sure; I guessed poorly

on the others it seems. Looks like I have some summer reading to do...

[msanthrope]

3. 10 of 10. One was a guess. nt

[First Speaker]

4. 7 out of 10...but are they sure #1 isn't...(Spoiler)

...the goddam *Princess Bride*? I don't remember *Sword in the Stone* having Florin and Guilder in it...but then, I haven't read it in 40 years, so what do I know...

[petronius]

21. Looks like they've fixed it now, but you're right... (nt)

[First Speaker]

26. OK! *8* out of ten!

[denbot]

5. 5 of 10

I can't believe I missed the Dune map.

[Xyzse]

6. 6 of 10

[Islandurp]

7. 4/10

Not that i've read most of these books, but one of the bad things about using a Kindle is trying to read the maps.

[murielm99]

8. Five out of ten.

They said 4 was average.

I feel stupid. I have read most of those books, so I should know more!

[Xyzse]

9. Same here.

I still don't pay attention to maps in books though.
So I was trying to read if I can figure out the names of the places in the picture.

[Chan790]

10. 6/10...I'd have scored higher if I could have looked at the maps in larger size.

Trying to read the small maps for landmarks strained my eyes.

[dixiegrrrrl]

13. The maps WERE blurry and small..

I did not score very high.

[shenmue]

11. 4/10

Disappointed.

[Leme]

12. 2, and not sure which ones !!!

[sarge43]

14. 9/10. nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

15. Impressive.

I gotta read more maps in books, I will admit.

[sarge43]

16. Thank you. nt

[Broken_Hero]

17. 8/10 nt

[Broken_Hero]

18. missed number 5 and 8 nt

[rurallib]

19. totally guessing I got 4

can anyone tell me which ones they were? I can't

[dixiegrrrrl]

27. Mr. dixie walked in the door, and got 9 of 10

he said he knew 3 of them for sure, the rest were process of elimination and guess work.
beat my score all to hell.....grrrrrrrrrr

[Wounded Bear]

20. 9 out of a possible 10

"Congratulations! You really know your way around the literary universe. Or the library, at any rate"

Actually there were a couple of guesses in there. I haven't read all of those books/stories. But they were educated guesses.

[Ilsa]

22. 7/10. nt

[baldguy]

23. 8/10

Missed #2 and #6

[rrneck]

25. 6/10

But I hadn't read most of them. Lotsa lucky guesses I expect.

[pokerfan]

28. 7/10

Your results

7 out of a possible 10

Well done. You don't get lost in books too often

[NewJeffCT]

29. 7 out of 10

missed the Island of Dr Moreau, which I was disappointed in...

[UTUSN]

30. Incredibly illiterate regarding this list, 5 "Well done. You don't get lost in books too often"

I think I've only read one on the list. So I'm good at test-taking?!1

[dixiegrrrrl]

31. " You don't bother to look at maps in a book, do ou?"

is the friendly remark I got, mocking my dismal score.

[UTUSN]

32. You got a dismal score, probably having read the list. And I got Good just by guessing?!1 n/t

[Scout]

33. 7 out of 10

I've never read "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" or "Flatland" ... and got the AUTHOR correct but not the correct title on of of them ....

ah well. add some titles to my reading list!

[dixiegrrrrl]

34. You deserve points for being able to read the maps..

I found them very blurry.
