What's Your Literary Score According To The Greatest Novels Ever Written?

I have a doctorate in English/Secondary Education and I'm a voracious reader, so of course I've read every one of these books, a couple of them I've read more than once!

I Don't Do Books. 🆘

Jack Scott, I had only four read.

Vita Searle, Shakespeare wrote plays and poetry. He wrote no novels.

Jack Scott, They are just less of a literary master.

Why are the top scorers called "master scribes"? A scribe is not a author and not necessarily an avid reader either. A scribe is a bookkeeper or record keeper and a copier of documents.

Very odd choice, no old classics such as Shakespeare, Dickens or Wilde. What about one of Agatha Christie's, one of the most read authors?

How is a person wrong if they haven't read these.

10/25...most before college.

dpetalas, I LOVE YOUR SARCASM ABOUT "THE LORD OF THE RINGS". I HAVE READ MOSTLY THE ENGLAND WRITERS. HOWEVER, THE BETTER USA ONES ARE UNCLE TOM'S CABIN, TOM SAWYER, LITTLE WOMEN. I DID NOT CARE FOR THE ABOVE CHOICE IN THE QUIZ..

THESE WERE MAINLY AMERICAN WRITERS. I HAVE READ A VERY WIDE SELECTION OF WRITERS OF ENGLAND : SHAKESPEARE, CHARLES DICKENS, THACKERAY, AND MANY OTHERS. MY COUNTRY, INDIA, HAS MANY GOOD ENGLISH AUTHORS, THAT I HAVE READ TOO. (R.K. NARYAN COMES TO MIND).

Not a fair representation of literary prowess. Not everyone likes fiction. I prefer history, biographies, and historical novels. IMO, reading those shows more literacy than entertainment in the form of fiction.

Alan Conyard, how can it be 15/15 when there are 25 questions?

15/15. Not too bad.

To be considered the greatest novels ever written, these titles should reflect an older, broader range of material. Many of these titles are too contemporary and haven't proven themselves to have withstood the test of time to be considered among the greatest written.
