The Book Quiz

You're The Grapes of Wrath!

by John Steinbeck

You're mired in a deep depression that encompasses you and everyone you know. You're trying to get out of the depression, but your idea of help is, in itself, pretty sad. While some are convinced that this all has a deeper meaning, you're really just dull and tedious. And utterly obsessed with dust. You really need to focus on something other than dust. Your best moments center around turtles.

**This is funny to me because every time I have a tramatic event happen it does have to do with turtles. After my son was born, the doctor brought him to me and the first thing I said was, "he looks like the baby turtle in Finding Nemo..."

You're The Sound and the Fury!

by William Faulkner

Strong-willed but deeply confused, you are trying to come to grips with a major crisis in your life. You can see many different perspectives on the issue, but you're mostly overwhelmed with despair at what you've lost. People often have a hard time understanding you, but they have some vague sense that you must be brilliant anyway. Ultimately, you signify nothing.

[JaneDead]

You're Mother Night!

by Kurt Vonnegut

Nobody knows what to believe about you, and you know least of all. You spent most of your time convinced that the ends justify the means, but your means were, well, downright mean! And the end is nigh. Meanwhile all you want is to travel back in time, if not to change, then to just delight in the way it used to be. You are who you pretend to be. Oh yes, you're the great pretender.

You're Mrs. Dalloway!

by Virginia Woolf

Your life seems utterly bland and normal to the casual observer, but inside you are churning with a million tensions and worries. The company you surround yourself with may be shallow, but their effects upon your reality are tremendously deep. To stay above water, you must try to act like nothing's wrong, but you know that the truth is catching up with you. You're not crazy, you're just a little unwell. But no doctor can help you now.

with some answer changes that also fit i got these two as well. i think they are all a bit fitting to my life right now.

[The_Dark]

Like Odysseus in a work of Homer, you demonstrate undying loyalty by

sleeping with as many people as you possibly can. But in your heart you never give

consent! This creates a strange quandary of what love really means to you. On the

one hand, you've loved the same person your whole life, but on the other, your actions

barely speak to this fact. Whatever you do, stick to bottled water. The other stuff

could get you killed

My second set of answers:

You're Les Miserables!

by Victor Hugo

One of the best known people in your community, you have become something of a phenomenon. People have sung about you, danced in your honor, created all manner of art in your name. And yet your story is one of failure and despair, with a few brief exceptions. A hopeless romantic, you'll never stop hoping that more good will come from your failings than is ever possible. Beware detectives and prison guards bearing vendettas.

[Shade Everdark]

You're The Guns of August

by Barbara 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 they really are. Nevertheless, you're always living in the past

and have a hard time dealing with what's going on today. You're also

far more focused on Europe than anywhere else in the world. A fitting

motto for you might be, "Guns do kill, but so can diplomats."

I'm "Catch 22". Now, how does one post this stuff? I always end up seeing my codes or whatever. Thanks!

[Ginevra]

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.

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. :innocent

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.

[Daevion]

You're The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

by Douglas Adams

Considered by many to be one of the funniest people around, you are

quite an entertainer. You've also traveled to the far reaches of what you deem possible,

often confused and unsure of yourself. Life continues to jostle you around like a marble,

but it's shown you so much of the world that you don't care. Wacky adventures continue to

lie ahead. Your favorite number is 42

[Guest MsMaldoror]

You're Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!

by Mark Twain

With an affinity for floating down the river, you see things in black and white. The world is strange and new to you and the more you learn about it, the less it makes sense. You probably speak with an accent and others have a hard time understanding you and an even harder time taking you seriously. Nevertheless, your adventurous spirit is admirable. You really like straw hats.

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I swear, I DON'T like straw hats.

You're <i>Cat's Cradle</i>!<br>

<font size="4">by Kurt Vonnegut</font><br>

<i><font size="3">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.</font><br>
