Me too! I looked it over before posting it here, but have not applied myself to it yet. If I never post my results here you will know how well I didn't do.

Welcome to the club! I started reading them, guessed one or two and then gave up. Most of those called "African-American" I didn't have a clue about, even though I have read James Baldwin and a few others, although nothing recent. Those categories are vague and it's hard to tell whether they all belong to the same book.

I did fairly well on books that I've read, even ones I read long ago. But apparently the maker of the quiz is far better read than any of us or, as I suspect, full of crap. The Yellow Wallpaper -- really?! My guess for this one, which was totally wrong, was Suddenly Last Summer (It starts in NO, doesn't it? But oh yeah -- it's not a novel.) Marginality, Social–Fiction. Mothers and sons–Fiction. New Orleans (La.)–Fiction. The real answer turned out to be one of my favorite books: {Spoiler}Confederacy of Dunces |

I gave up very quickly, not because I couldn't guess some of the replies but because the whole concept annoyed me.

So instead you took the time to post an annoying response here? Very good.

It's all beyond me because I've only ever read the Bible.

Hang on, no, I remember reading a book at school.
It was a yellow one.

The Nottingham Yellow Academy for Boys of Limited Ability?
No, never went there.
Eton was fine for me.

not that i'd know any answers, or have time to go through the quiz - but i also didn't find where you get to see the correct answers. must be blind ...

Rikita, you mouse over the word "Answer" after every group of clues. Mouse over and continue dragging the mouse to the right and the answer appears.

The (Anglican) nuns that ran my school went through all the books in our library redacting all the bits they thought might not be suitable for young ladies to read. They even removed pages from the Art books if they had pictures of (blush) people with not many clothes on.
No wonder I am developmentally delayed.!
