Only 3………. I am not happy
it isn’t bad if you aren’t familiar with the source material
Uh oh, 3/10… Knowing you, I should have known better…
You expect to have picked some of the mythos up by osmosis?
It’s possible, I picked up some Go information that way…
That you did, but I feel like I talk about HPL more often than go…
Not as much so these days, go has been a big focus for you of late…
This is what happens if the index finger is not compact with the mind! and this is how if second thought gets rid of the first choice! Yesss! I haven’t read Lovecraft… so I got 3!
Yeah, there are some schools of thought that say you should always go with your gut instinct but I don’t subscribe to them. I prefer to scrutinize and make an informed decision even if that is unamerican…
If I had to read the book first and examine it carefully then answer this quiz, surely I’ll be completed this quiz within a year.
Well worth the wait. Actually, I have no clue if you’d like HPL or not but surely it wouldn’t hurt to try! And since he wrote for pulp fiction, most of his stories are pretty short…
6/10 I’m glad to know about it
I’m glad you took the quiz
I did not read it so that I guessed 1
It is okay to read up on Lovecraft if you didn’t do so well on the quiz. His work is now public domain so you can read it online for free…
got 4 out of 10 right!
If you haven’t read Lovecraft, I doubt you’d do well on this quiz. No reason to be ashamed for not knowing what you don’t know. Unless you are simply ashamed on general principles for not having read enough HPL, because I would understand that…
2 guesses there
I wonder if you got the same two as Gina23?
2/10 I’m ashamed but I enjoyed the quiz. Thank you!
