Unfinished Works by Great Authors
|
An interesting facet of literature is the unfinished manuscript. Many authors leave a work-in-progress that can offer insight into the creative process and frustrate the reader with unrealized potential. All of the works in this quiz are published.

Novels of the 1940s
|
Novels are a part of 'pop' culture. Some may be the flavor of the month; some may be literary classics. Lists from "Publishers Weekly" were used as reference and are based on sales in the United States. What do you know of the best sellers of the 1940s?

Books I Was Forced to Read
|
There are some books I never would have read to conclusion had they not been assigned. In this quiz, I raise a half-hearted glass to required reading. Just remember, there's no accounting for personal taste, so please don't chastise me.

Lesser Known Works of Well Known Authors
|
Though the average person may be able to connect Shakespeare with "Romeo and Juliet", could they do the same when asked the author of "Cardenio" or "Measure for Measure?" This test will ask you about those lesser known works of well known authors.

Nobel Laureates who won Other Prizes too
|
Many Booker and Pulitzer Prize winners have often gone on to become Nobel Laureates. I'll name the book they were awarded the Pulitzer or Booker for and you name the author. Should be a lark, and nothing a little research can't fix.
