I am quite startled

I'll put the quiz results behind a cut tag to spare people annoyance. I saw this on pnh's journal first, but several other fannish friends of mine have taken it. I was much startled by how well I did, but I will remark at once that it is quite uncanny how often I had not read the work quoted but had read all three of the alternatives given amongst the multiple choices. I'd have been toast if I'd just had to write down the answers without any prompting.

I also can't help wondering if there are some ringers (i.e., non-existent works) in there, or if there are just some overlapping titles that the quiz-maker chose the lesser-known version of, to be wicked. There's a fair amount of mild wickedness in the choice of the possible answers, and I enjoyed it.
