Progress: 1 of 11 questions
Here is a fun quiz about prize winning literature. The questions won't be ridiculously hard - no street names, or detailed questions about random minor characters, or impossible trivia about the author. If you have read the book, you will probably know the answer. I know it's tempting to use Google, but try do it on the fly, no cheating, just for fun - no one is judging! Just a tip: I'm Canadian, so there will be a few Giller questions!
