Who makes up these lists anyway?

Over at Feast on Books Peter is flagellating himself because of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die he has read only 60.

Always one to dive in, I scrolled down the list and counted 140. Of course the concentration lapsed here and there, and it could have been 80 or 160. I must admit many of them were compulsory reading in English literature courses done 40+ years ago.

Not a lot of crime fiction there, just a few titles, but a lot of "classics" from the 18th & 19th centuries.

So I'm laying down the gauntlet! Go on test yourself and come back here and confess.

Perhaps you can suggest more sensible lists for me to look at - 1001 murder mysteries or the like. Something where we can tick boxes would be good.

This is more my sort of Quiz: Bloomsbury Crime Fiction Quiz
although I only got 5!!

What about the Penguin 2008 Crime Quiz?
Drat! I'm usually good at these- got only 4 that time :-(

Last one: Mystery, Suspense, and Detective Fiction Quiz - you have to "mark" this one yourself
Ah.. that's better 24/28 - I think I'll stop while I'm ahead. Have fun and let me know how you went.
