My new quiz

I've practiced Tai Chi Chuan for quite a few years now. So I've made a quiz about it! As far as I can tell it's the only one on the topic.

My New Quiz: "S" is for Samurai

A new quiz of mine has been placed online!  It is in the R category, in Literature.  Click on the link below to play it, and feel free to leave comments!

 

    "S" is for Samurai (15 questions)
    Laura Joh Rowland writes mysteries set in feudal Japan. There is a question here for every book published as of July 2006 and some general questions.


My next quiz

I've long been interested in Japan, not so much the politics but the history and the culture. One of my cousins is married to a guy of Japanese heritage, I love Sushi, I'm practicing karate and I enjoy reading both fiction and non-fiction about the country.

 

I've just recently discovered a mystery series that is set in 17th century Japan, by Laura Joh Rowland. She has obviously done her research which makes the difference between an enjoyable historical mystery and an annoying one. My next quiz will be on her "Samurai" series. It will be a while though since I've got to read all the books first - work, work...  So anybody who wants to ace the quiz can start reading right now!

    Fantastic Frauds (10 questions)
    Since the dawn of recorded history people have been trying to take advantage of one another's gullibility. Can you be fooled?
