It is literature quiz time! Grab your fiction-loving friends and settle in for an exciting game of book trivia. If you spend most of your waking day reading, if your biggest shopping happens in bookstores, if you are more invested in the lives of characters than in any drama in the office, this game of fiction trivia is definitely for you.  

Now, if you think literature trivia questions can only be related to the plot, think again. All the personal details about the characters, places mentioned in the book, the history of its creation, the author themselves, their relationship with the publisher, and so much more – imagine how many questions on literature you can come up with! And then there is a whole category of book-to-screen adaptations. However, I would be careful with this one and ask everyone who is going to participate in the game if they are okay with including questions about adaptations into the game. You know how some people feel about movies based on books.

If you’ve decided to organize a literature trivia night for your friends and are now fervently browsing free online literature quizzes to collect some questions, we got you! We went ahead and gathered lots of interesting and some rather difficult literature trivia questions and answers you can use during the game. Which one will you find the most difficult to answer? Enjoy and don’t forget to let us know your favorite book in the comments.

That's just not accurate, neither is it Victorian era nor is there only one man the sisters are fascinated by, there are several love interests, the main couple famously hate each other in the beginning and one of the sisters isn't interested in men at all.

Just "Brave New World". There's no article. From Miranda's line in The Tempest - "O, brave new world, that has such people in't!"

I believe the answer to #106, above, ‘Bugles Rang True’ is the correct answer. ‘Ba Ba Black Sheep’ was the title of Greg ‘Pappy’ Boyington’s memoir, published in 1959.
