I'm sure it's not accurate, but it was kind of fun. There should have been a few more options for some of the questions.



Edited to add: I had to print screen the results and flickr them.

Actually, I could have checked off three of those "which have you read all of" lists. Except I never read Silas Marner, despite loving Eliot.

Agreed. I think I could have checked most of them, too, even the Stephen King ones. There should have been a 'check all that apply' option.

I also rated as a Dedicated Reader.

You're probably in the final stages of a Ph.D. or otherwise finding a way to make your living out of reading. You are one of the literati. Other people's grammatical mistakes make you insane.

I'm a Dedicated Reader.
But I didn't need a quiz to tell me that :o)

I agree. Some of those questions needed more options.

Do you think all of us are going to come out as Dedicated Readers? Maybe it's pretty much a given I guess as we're members of LT, lol.

I agree, a little more diversity in the questions would have been better.

Fun quiz :-)

I tried to post above that I'm also a Dedicated Reader. There were a couple of questions I couldn't answer. Oh well.

I too came out as a Dedicated reader. The quiz was kind of culturally skewed, though - no August Strindberg, no Vilhelm Moberg, no Moliere or Zola, just to mention a few of the authors judged IMPORTANT and thus forced upon me while in school.

I came out as Book Snob - I'm a smidge put out by that... maybe I should have left the ones I couldn't answer (for example I haven't read War and Peace but I haven't read Moby Dick either)...

Huff.

Maybe I'll try that again...

That time I came out as a Dedicated Reader - I think it all hinges on the War and Peace question...

Yeah, I left that one unanswered - see my #10 for what should had been there if the test had been a Swedish one. In swedish education Wuthering Hights is as seminal as... well, Asimov; a genre author important to a certain cultural (not our!) sphere.
Not a perfect comparison, but you get what I'm at.

Oh well only to be expected I suppose (I must admit that I did closest fit on some of the answers - and having to pick only one of those sets of books!)

- sounds about right to me ;-)

Dedicated reader.

And I left question #6 blank, because out of all those books, I had only ever read Madame Bovary, The Great Gatsby, and some of Huck Finn.

Another OCB here. I'm a bit of a snob too, but I am absolutely not a fad reader or non-reader. Go figure... :)

You always prefer to see the movie. Bookstores make you nervous, so you avoid them. You think people who read are often doing it to make you look dumb.

Tryin' to make me look dumb, huh?

I was called a book snob, which I thought unfair. A book snob would read classic books and prize-winning fiction works, just to say they had read such stuff. I definitely don't think that is me.

Dedicated Reader here as well.

#26 - I have a bookbuddy who calls me a reading snob because I don't share her love of reading endless vampire novels and the Stephanie Plum novels.
