Everyone knows the title. Recognising a book from nothing but its premise, with no cover and no author credited, takes a bit more.

This quiz gives you fifteen plots in a single line each, spanning two centuries of fiction from Cervantes to Rowling, and asks you to pick the right title from four options. It mixes the books most people read at school with a couple that might take a moment longer to place. Work through them all and find out whether you finish as Still on Chapter One, a Casual Reader, an Avid Reader, or a true Literary Genius.

FAQs:
