Mar. 10th, 2004 06:57 amBBC Quiz: How well read are you?
Thursday is World Book Day - so how well do you know famous opening lines?
Accountants spend an average of five hours a week reading - more than anybody else.
Secretaries came second, followed by MPs, journalists and taxi drivers. Members of the clergy were least likely to be found with a book
Test yourself with our quiz on the first lines of well-known books - and send us your suggestions for first lines of your own.
0-4: Like the clergy....... 5-7: Take a letter, Moneypenny....... 8-10: Number-crunching bookworm
I got 8 right. Guilty as charged.
