21 out of 25. I missed The Phantom Tollbooth, The Jungle, Frankenstein, and The Portrait of Dorian Gray. I'm just embarrassed that I missed Frankenstein, because I actually read that one but never did read the others I missed.
(I saw the names Felix and Elizabeth and I kind of went "....the only work I can remember seeing a Felix in is Anna Karenina, dangit.")
Got 19! Can't believe I missed Paradise Lost, and was stuck on Frankenstein. (I knew I knew the names, but not from where. In my defense, I haven't read it since the seventh grade.)
I only got 11. XD Though one of them that I didn't get was The Iliad. I guess I kept spelling it as Illiad, so it wouldn't take it, and then I gave up thinking it must be some other Greek thing I was unfamiliar with (I've never read the Iliad, just recognised names).
Yes! I got 20 out of 25 for precisely that reason-- I kept spelling it "Illiad." I knew that was what it was, but it didn't occur to me to change the spelling before time ran out!
And I kept misremembering the title of The War of the Worlds as The Day The Earth Stood Still, even though I knew it was wrong. Gah!
It took me embarrassingly long to remember the title of Les Miserables, and I read it just a few months ago!
Edit: Also, I don't know if I should be embarrassed that I spelled the name of the Iliad correctly first try (once I remembered it), as we use ILLiad at work, and that ought to be the first spelling I think of!
