You could probably hold your own in a literary conversation, but perhaps not with today's 15-year-olds.

Uh, right.
Has the author of the quiz actually talked to a fifteen year old? I have to every time I go to work, and I'm lucky to not get verbally abused. They aren't talking about books and litfic criticism; they're talking about lowriders, pimping and hoes, how to crack software and do DOSA takedowns, which teachers they want to get fired, and just about everything BUT their literature assignments.
Edit: They also left Ralph Waldo Emerson, Robert Frost, Mark Twain, Edward Albee, Thackeray (sp?), the Bronte sisters, von Daniken, the Gawain-Poet, Snorri, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot (sp?), and a whole bunch of other authors off the list.
