BBC 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.

I got nine right. I guessed on two, so it's more like 'seven.'
