Go to Queendom's Complete List of Trivia Quizzes <http://www.queendom.com/mindgames/quizdom/allquizzes.html> and take all the quizzes under Arts and Humanities, especially those that relate to literature directly. You might also do the quizzes on the Power of Words.

How do you feel after taking these quizzes? Does it help that the site calls them "trivia"? How did you score? Since these little quizzes are not normed, we do not know how to compare your scores with the scores of others. What's "normal" for an average person to achieve? What's really good? What's less than average? We just don't know. However, you can get an individual sense of how you did. I can say that though the questions are called "trivial," they often ask about significant facts and could (should ?) have been part of an average schooling in literature. On the "Literature Quiz" I would expect a student who took a college prep high school English program to get at least 5 or 6 right. If you scored higher, congratulations. I think we can use the 50% rule for the rest of the quizzes as well. It you typically get all or most all correct, you are a bookworm!
