About the book: 

Which Haruki Murakami novel shares its title with a Beatles song? In Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, what is Charlie's surname? What is heavy-drinking Rachel Watson known as in the title of a 21st-century bestseller? And what do you get if you add the number of Bennet sisters in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice to the number of Karamazov brothers in Fyodor Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov? With 400 questions covering books from literary classics to modern bestsellers, through iconic children's books and books you say that you've read but really you haven't, The Penguin BookQuiz is as appropriate for a making you look well-read at a party as it is for a book-loving family to read aloud from after dinner. Answers: Norwegian Wood, Bucket, The Girl on the Train, and Eight (five sisters, three brothers).
