i agree with keith's comments about having a 'what have you read?' portion first. I had to answer "i don't know" to most of the questions because if I hadn't read both of the works, i didn't want to choose one over the other. i have a master's in English and i think only one out of 20 comparisons i answered included two works i had read.

No, I'm not currently tracking "I don't know", but I believe that is trivial enough to do. Hmmm... Thanks! -- Eric Morgan
