Which book are you?

[rachel]

You are the brothers Karamazoff
You are struggling each in your own way to make sense of your world. Your start was atrocious, your father is part mad man, part mercenary, anything for a buck. He loves the sound of his own voice, but cared nothing for the sounds of your crying as infants and children.
His servant though was another matter. But for him how could you have even gotten to be the neurotic young men you became , well all but the youngest, or was he?

You're Dune!
by Frank Herbert
You have control over a great wealth of resources, but no one wants to let you have them. You've decided to try to defend yourself, but it may take eons before you really get back what you feel you deserve. Meanwhile you have a cult-like following of minions waiting for your life to progress. This would all be even more exciting if you could just get the sand out of your eyes.

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.

You're The Things They Carried!
by Tim O'Brien
Harsh and bitter, you tell it like it is. This usually comes in short, dramatic spurts of spilling your guts in various ways. You carry a heavy load, and this has weighed you down with all the horrors that humanity has to offer. Having seen and done a great deal that you aren't proud of, you have no choice but to walk forward, trudging slowly through ongoing mud. In the next life, you will come back as a water buffalo.

Not a very flattering portrait of my personality!!! Oh well, atleast I'll be prepared to deal with "the horrors of humanity" and the "trudging through ongoing mud" when I'm reincarnated as a water-buffalo!!

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.

You're Alice's Adventures in Wonderland!
by Lewis Carroll
After stumbling down the wrong turn in life, you've had your mind opened to a number of strange and curious things. As life grows curiouser and curiouser, you have to ask yourself what's real and what's the picture of illusion. Little is coming to your aid in discerning fantasy from fact, but the line between them is so blurry that it's starting not to matter. Be careful around rabbit holes and those who smile to much, and just avoid hat shops altogether.

Yay! I'm one of the greatest people of all time. (Yay, talking rabbits.)

I know I've taken this quiz before, on LitNet, and gotten the same answer. I guess that means it's accurate.

[SleepyWitch]

great, I'm Watership Down and i haven't even read the book.
what is it about?

[emily655321]

It's about... rabbits. Who can't count above four. And then there's a flood.

It's sort of an allegorical examination of human society, religion, law, etc. Very, very good.

[SleepyWitch]

hum, I'm not sure I like "allegorical examinations of human society".. I don't know what makes them more annoying: the vulgarity of their obviousness or the smugness of the narrator/author who most of the time could use a little examination himself wuahahaha, sorry, I'm sure it's a good book and I will read it some day

nevertheless, I'll take the test again to see if i can be a book I've at least heard of...

edit: shoot, this time round I'm "The guns of August"




hurumpf, ok, i was exaggerating, at least I knew the title of Watership Down, but this one I've really never heard of ... the first half of the description sounds nice though... although I can't figure out why it says "more focused on Europe than anywhere else" when I clicked my focus is on the whole world rather than on America....??? is this some kind of American logic?

Hi Emily, I stumbled upon the thread you had started earlier with the same quiz and merged the two threads It seems like a number of books represent you!

BTW, apparently I'm either Les Mis or Ulysses. (Ess-ssssssss... hehehe)

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.

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.

I come up as The Sound and the Fury no matter how many times I take the quiz... I was hoping for a book I had already read. :-/

[Jay]

I'm Watership Down... again! Wonder why's that

[emily655321]

Oh, my goodness! How funny, I thought I remembered that I was Watership before. I guess memory fails!

[Virgil]

Alright. I took it again and came up with this.

You're I, Robot!
by Isaac Asimov
While you have established a code of conduct for many generations to follow, your demeanor is rather cold and calculating. Brought up to serve humans, you have promised never to harm them, to follow orders, and to protect yourself. Living up to this code has proved challenging and sometimes even drives you mad. If you were a type of paper, you would be pulp.

You're Anne of Green Gables!
by L.M. Montgomery
Bright, chipper, vivid, but with the emotional fortitude of cottage cheese, you make quite an impression on everyone you meet. You're impulsive, rash, honest, and probably don't have a great relationship with your parents. People hurt your feelings constantly, but your brazen honestly doesn't exactly treat others with kid gloves. Ultimately, though, you win the hearts and minds of everyone that matters. You spell your name with an E and you want everyone to know about it.

that's all me alright...but..
How on Earth did they know i that i spell my name with an E!!!
