Better Luck Next Time!

Oh dear! Unfortunately, your results aren't quite as fantastic as we'd hoped. There's no need to panic though, since few things on this planet are as pleasurable as getting stuck into a good book, so we're confident that if you've got some free time on your hands, you'll be acing this quiz the next time you give it a go. In the words of Gustave Flaubert, “Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.”

You're a Respectable Reader!

Not too shabby! Even though you didn't get a perfect score, your results show that you're well-acquainted with many of the most popular works of literature. If you keep up such a degree of effort, you may find yourself becoming the world's next big literary critic in no time at all! In the words of Oscar Wilde, “It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.”

You're a Literary Legend!

Impressive! Your outstanding results prove that you're certainly no stranger to the world of literature, and that you probably dedicate a good portion of your life to reading for pleasure. This is a truly wonderful thing, since engaging with powerful literature is such a stimulating way to learn and to grow as a person. In the words of George R. R. Martin, "A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies...The man who never reads lives only one.”
