Try my pub quiz questions
My dad is holding a quiz night to raise money for his marathon run in April. He's asked me to come up with questions for a books/literature round, I need 10, and these are what I've come up with so far. I reckon you guys are a good sample quiz audience, so you can have a go and let me know if they're too easy, too hard, badly worded, too specific, not specific enough, full of mistakes, etc. Would be much appreciated.
