I was going to take it, but not user friendly. The answer to the first I think , would be 'The Metamorphis'.

OMG, the answer to (unlucky number) 13 is The Satanic Verses by Salman Rushdie!

[Article 15]

Based on that quiz ... sort of/not really.

I got 8 of the 13.

3 of them I never heard of (got them all wrong).

4 of them I knew by heart (Moby dick, tale of two cities, 2001 & Kafka)

When I got to the Satanic Verses question, I checked my back to make sure no Muslims were declaring Jihad on my head.

That post deserves a rep!

I also make fun of Obama. I'm probably on someone's hit list for that, too!

8 out of 13 and I missed the "Catcher in the Rye" which I've read more than once.

I never knew 'well read' meant you memorized opening lines to fiction books. Now I feel even dumber because I've been fighting my way through this stupid Richard Dawkins book.

 

[strollingbones]

"my mother died today or maybe yesterday"

book and author

 

[strollingbones]

an easy one for amanda:

"it was the best of times, it was the worst of times"

 

[Amanda]

They're all easy if you know how to use Google.

 

[strollingbones]

you shouldnt have to goggle..the 2nd one at all....damn

the first one is a bit tougher but not that hard

 

[strollingbones]

normally it is the opening that catches the reader....that is why people remember the opening lines....you are not expected to...

The second one is in the original quiz Bones.

I find I only remember certain classic lines from books, even books I reread several times.

 

[strollingbones]

Agreed---I think "well read" means you can act all snooty at social gatherings.
