Why has the literature quiz gone all obscure - or is it just me being old ?

I am feeling the same way. I thought that I was well read and I keep up with what is usually termed contemporary literature, but I have never heard of some of the books that have been in quizzes lately.

There's a difference (in my mind at least) between literature and today's vesion of the Penny Dreadful.

How true, daver! I've never heard of, let alone read, half of the books in the literature quizzes. Just because a book is published doesn't automatically class it as literature in my opinion. Heck, that would put Harlequin romances on the same footing as the works of Austen, Cervantes, Chaucer and Dickens.

If you're talking about the literature quiz in the Global Challenge, the questions get more obscure and difficult once you reach the higher levels. Since the GC just reset a few days ago, you'll be in the lower levels right now where the questions are quite basic and much easier to answer.

I like taking the literature quiz in the Global Challenge. The harder the level, the more I have to catch up on classical works.
