Book quotation quiz

Fri, 21 Apr 2006 12:00:00 +0000

These are quotes from books. How many titles can you guess? (Case insensitive. Ignore punctuation. So “Hitchhiker’s” is “Hitchhikers” without the apostrophe. Don’t forget the leading “A” and “The”. Harry Potter books begin with “Harry Potter and the…”.)

Anything over 10 / 25 is impressive.

Dhar 21 Apr 2006 4:28 pm: Anand Man… LOTR is one book in three parts and not a trilogy. So LOTR is the correct answer to a couple of questions instead of ROTK etc.
Dhar 21 Apr 2006 4:35 pm: Hmmm, a particular quote occurs in more than one Ludlum novels. In fact, I suspect that particular one is there in all the three.
Dhar 21 Apr 2006 4:40 pm: Finally got 17 / 25. But I suspect that is because we have been reading similar stuff lately.
S Anand 21 Apr 2006 5:05 pm: Agreed: LOTR is a single book. Loved it so much I had to put in a quote from each part!
Chitra 22 Apr 2006 3:14 am: Nice one :)!
JLT 22 Apr 2006 8:03 pm: And just like that, bumped into your blog . walked through 10/25 mark without realising. u could raise the bar.
suhas 23 Apr 2006 9:46 pm: hey, how do i find out the answers to the ones i have not been able to figure out?
S Anand 24 Apr 2006 6:45 am: You can e-mail me. root dot node at gmail dot com.
S Anand 10 May 2006 5:29 pm: Test comment.
Mayur 6 Jun 2006 7:20 pm: Hey nice quiz this, i usually dont quiz but i guess i found someting im decent at 12/25
Natasha 19 Nov 2006 6:36 am: yay i got 12/25 by myself and with help got 14!!! i congradulate you on a great quiz!
Hemant 7 Feb 2007 10:24 pm: Actually, LOTR is not 1 book. JRR Tokein actually wrote it as three different books. We now read it as one. I read this in the first few pages of the first book.
simplecoffee 21 Apr 2006 12:00 pm: Um, well, ‘Cain is for Charlie and Delta is for Cain’ is only used in The Bourne Identity. Supremacy has ‘Cain is for Carlos and Delta is for Cain’, while Ultimatum hasn’t got it.

Two Towers named after the WTC

Wed, 01 May 2002 12:00:00 +0000

Some people petitioned that “The Two Towers” (sequel to “Fellowship of the Ring”) was named after the World Trade Centre. Curiously, this petition has a far larger number of votes compared to its counter-petition.

Moria

Tue, 17 Oct 2000 12:00:00 +0000

Since 1995, I’ve been playing a game called Moria. It’s based on Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. It’s a text-based game, but it’s amazingly addictive.
