OK bookworms: time to grab some of that glory that eluded us—er, you—throughout high school when you were reading Franny and Zooey instead of grabbing ass and thumbing through Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance while your classmates were skinnydipping and smoking weed. The opportunity has arrived for you to be recognized for your knowledge of all things literary, as Portland prepares for six nights of literary trivia nights, hosted by Shannon Donaldson of ShanRock’s Triviology. Held in celebration of Wordstock, the trivia nights benefits Community of Writers, an organization that helps young kids become future lit-trivia contest winners.

“Literary quizzes will be composed of seven short rounds, giving team’s instant gratification and the glory of being declared the nights “Biggest Book Worm”. Players will have the chance to answer questions in the categories of: literature, poetry, grammar, vocabulary, theater, and comics.”

So if you’re quick on the buzzer and know what kind of hot dog wagon Ignatius Reilly pushed; who is credited with inventing lyric poetry; what the last sentence of 1984 is; or the names of three US poet laureates from the last decade, check out the whens and wheres of the events after the jump.
