Which book are you?

I think we may have seen this once over here, but when I tried to search for the thread, Lit had a tantrum.

Which classic book are you?


Here's me: You're Watership Down! by Richard Adams

Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you're actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You'd be recognized as such if you weren't always talking about talking rabbits.

To Kill a Mockingbird!
by Harper Lee
Perceived as a revolutionary and groundbreaking person, you have changed the minds of many people. While questioning the authority around you, you've also taken a significant amount of flack. But you've had the admirable guts to persevere. There's a weird guy in the neighborhood using dubious means to protect you, but you're pretty sure it's worth it in the end. In the end, it remains unclear to you whether finches and mockingbirds get along in real life.

That's so not me... And I don't really get it. Especially the neighborhood guy.

This is me:

You're Roots!
by Alex Haley
While almost everyone agrees that you're brilliant, no one knows quite how to categorize you. Some say that you're a person with an amazing family tree. Some say that you're just a darn good storyteller. Others say that you're both and don't much care where to draw the line. What is known is that your people have been through a great number of trials and that you are where you are because of hard work. You have nothing to lose but your chains.

But it was this bit that really made me laugh 'You have nothing to lose but your chains'

 

[Chicklet]

You're A Prayer for Owen Meany!
by John Irving
Despite humble and perhaps literally small beginnings, you inspire faith in almost everyone you know. You are an agent of higher powers, and you manifest this fact in mysterious and loud ways. A sense of destiny pervades your every waking moment, and you prepare with great detail for destiny fulfilled. When you speak, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS!

interesting... = \

ohhhhh fun !!!!!!

You're The Great Gatsby!
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Having grown up in immense wealth and privilege, the world is truly at your doorstep. Instead of reveling in this life of luxury, however, you spend most of your time mooning over a failed romance. The object of your affection is all but worthless--a frivolous liar--but it matters not to you. You can paint any image of the past you want and make it seem real. If you were a color of fishing boat light, you would be green.

I am going to have another go and see if it changes .........smiles

2 mins later

Laughs.......no.......exactly same answers, same book......oh well off to continue packing for my immense wealth and privilege commencing in about 4 hours YAY

You're Siddhartha!
by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in. This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in ferries.

Well, um, okay.

 

[Red Sonja]

I am: The Guns of August, by Barbara W. Tuchman

Though you're interested in war, what you really want to know is what
causes war. You're out to expose imperialism, militarism, and nationalism for what theyreally are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past and have a hard time dealingwith what's going on today. You're also far more focused on Europe than anywhere else inthe world. "A fitting motto for you might be Guns do kill, but so can diplomats."

I am The Book of Laughter and Forgetting.

(Actually, I just don't like to take quizzes after so many people have answered because the answers will start repeating themselves soon.)

Snowy, where do you find this tripe? I've never even heard of "One Hundred Years of Solitude!" and so I did the test again. I only changed one answer and it took me in a completely different direction. "Lolita!" I'm not into child porn, folks. Not even if it's Lolita. I'm NOT understainding this quiz.

The first discription says I've been around for a very long time. Come on, now. I'm only 52! Conflict has filled most of my life and torn apart nearly everyone I know? I'm a Dom. And I'm SS&C, too. This could give me a bad rep for sure.

You're One Hundred Years of Solitude!
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Lonely and struggling, you've been around for a very long time. Conflict has filled most of your life and torn apart nearly everyone you know. Yet there is something majestic and even epic about your presence in the world. You love life all the more for having seen its decimation. After all, it takes a village.

OR

Now this second one is more on target, but the line that states "What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every way," (I'll go with that) though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not sure what causes this desire. Not true! BDSM sex is the BEST and I know what causes this desire...I like to dominate and control women! I also LOVE anal sex!

This thing goes on to say "Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real. Please stay away from children."
OK. Yes, I've done my share of strange things, but I've never been caught. The names have been changed, because here I'm knonw as DVS. But, what are the problems...other than the women on collarme.

You're Lolita!
by Vladimir Nabokov
Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every way, though you admit that this probably isn't the best and you're not sure what causes this desire. Nonetheless, you've done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real. Please stay away from children.

 

[Kajira Callista]

You're Pale Fire!
by Vladimir Nabokov
You're really into poetry and the interpretation thereof. Along the road of life, you have had several identity crises which make it very unclear who you are, let alone how to interpret poetry. You probably came from a foreign country, but then again you seem foreign to everyone in ways unrelated to immigration. Most people think you're quite funny, but maybe you're just sick. Talking to you ends up being much like playing a round of the popular board game Clue.

 

[FurryFury]

Wow!

How much more not "me" can a quiz get?

LMAO!

You're Cat's Cradle!
by Kurt Vonnegut
You believe quite firmly that free will deserted you long ago and far away. As a result, it's hard to take responsibility for anything. Even though you show great potential as a leader of a small 3rd world country, the choices are all made ahead of time. You're rather fond of games involving string. Your fear of nuclear weaponry is trumped only by your fear of ice.

On retake:

Much more me at least and I've read this one. The KEY difference was, "Does you life seem to have a villian." Mine has had many but not anymore so...that lead to other things, better things.

I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you! I don't take them too seriously, they're just for fun. Incidently, I liked 100 years of solitude, but then again, I'm a geek.

I read the book for this book club I was invited to. I didn't like it that much but I was the only person there who actually read the selection of the month. Apparently comparing diamonds and houses was far more important to the group. Their next two selections sucked too so I didn't go back.

You're Ulysses!
by James Joyce
Most people are convinced that you don't make any sense, but compared to what else you could say, what you're saying now makes tons of sense. What people do understand about you is your vulgarity, which has convinced people that you are at once brilliant and repugnant. Meanwhile you are content to wander around aimlessly, taking in the sights and sounds of the city. What you see is vast, almost limitless, and brings you additional fame. When no one is looking, you dream of being a Greek folk hero.

um . . . ok

You're The Mists of Avalon!
by Marion Zimmer Bradley
You're obsessed with Camelot in all its forms, from Arthurian legend to the Kennedy administration. Your favorite movie from childhood was "The Sword in the Stone". But more than tales of wizardry and Cuban missiles, you've focused on women. You know that they truly hold all the power. You always wished you could meet Jackie Kennedy.

How fun

I'm the classic book:

Animal Farm
by George Orwell
You are living proof that power corrupts and whoever leads you will become just as bad as the past leaders. You're quite conflicted about this emotionally and waver from hopelessly idealistic to tragically jaded. Ultimately, you know you can't trust pigs. Your best moments are when you're down on all fours.

I love this book though I'm not sure how I feel about this result.

You're Cry, the Beloved Country!
by Alan Paton

Life is exceedingly difficult right now, especially when you put more miles between yourself and your hometown. But with all sorts of personal and profound convictions, you are able to keep a level head and still try to help folks, no matter how much they harm you. You walk through a land of natural beauty and daily horror. In the end, far too much is a matter of black and white.


Wow. I should get help.

See? told y'all it was a good book!

See? told y'all it was a good book!

I liked it too but not as much as his Love in the time of Cholera.

 

[snowy ciara]

"Of Love and Other Demons" rocked too, but his short stories really grab my attention. There's a collection of shorts called "Strange Pilgrims" that I liked.

Did I just hijack my own thread?

I don't think that is possible... I'll have to check out those short stories.
