That was fun. It was tedious to count, so I stopped. I'm guessing I got about 40 correct, which isn't too bad, I think. One or two were impossible and many were too new for me to recognize.TriciaG wrote: ↑February 27th, 2021, 1:28 pm https://lithub.com/how-many-of-the-100-most-famous-passages-in-literature-can-you-identify/

Yeah, I was pretty bad at that one too. Too many poems. And there are some quotes that I do know, but then I miss the author or the title or both.
On the other hand, I can explain how a car motor works.

I tend to strongly disagree on many of the works that people put on these "essential" reading lists. So there's that.
