I'm Phi Beta Kappa also. Thanks to all the poetry classes I took as an English major, no doubt! I missed the English detective novel question.

I got them all right and the description at the end nailed me! I not only have a bookcase full of all the books I have read...I have several. I not only have a "to be read" pile of books" next to my chair...I have shelves of them!

I'll admit it...I am a book junkie. And addiction I intend to keep until I go to my grave.

8 out of 10

I feel smart today (come on, let me feel that way at least ONE day!).

9 out of 10..and only because I couldn't believe they actually had usurer as an occupation, although I knew Shylock was one!

and folks, I am NOT well read. At least I don't consider myself well read. I guess it comes from being a smatterist and remembering quirky things. I haven't read most of the books; I just remember reading the odd fact about them.

9 out of 10. I missed the one on English detective novel. Was torn between 2 and chose incorrectly.

I want to know who told them about the 2 stacks of books on the floor on my side of the bed.

Phi Beta Kappa - 80% - missed 2.

I read A LOT. I have a to be read pile that is shelves long. I write fiction. I loathe poetry. I'm not big on the classics and credit logic for gettting me through the potions of the quiz that I did.

Missed only the Shakespeare question (not a surprise since I've never read any of his stuff) -- so I'm happy with my 90%.

For those of you who have not read "The Moonstone" (the correct answer to the English detective novel question), please do so ASAP -- it is truly magnificent and a ton of fun to read. Wilkie Collins, while not as well-known to modern-day readers as Charles Dickens is, was in the same league during the 19th century as far as sales were concerned; they were true rivals in that department. They were also very close friends.

In addition to "The Moonstone" be sure to read "The Woman in White" -- not quite as delicious as "Moonstone" but definitely worth reading.
