David Israel’s “Who Am I?” quiz on Mental Floss asks you to identify 10 books based on 10 clues written in the first person.
I scored 70%, though I think I’ve only read 35%. Thank you, general knowledge!
One peeve (with spoilers):

From Mental Floss: Name the 10 Most Populous U.S. Cities in 2 Minutes.
I managed 8 out of 10. (Spoilers after the jump.) Good quiz idea, Jenny Brown.

Apparently so.
Someone sent me that quiz the other day. I took it and got a B+, but didn’t save the link that let me share my results. I tried to replicate my performance, but I seem to have accidentally answered another question correctly.
One difference between this kind of quiz and a good pub quiz: there are few hints buried within the text of the questions and answers themselves. Since it’s multiple choice, you can guess, but ultimately you either know what produces the tides or you don’t.
