Which book are you?

[Lily Adams]

I'm The Mists of Avalon? What's up with that?

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.

Yeah...I like the Cold War but...I think it would be more accurate had it had more questions. Even though it made a big deal about having so few questions.

Edit: Took it again and got The Guns of August By Barbara Tuchman-never heard of it, but this sounds pretty accurate to me:

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."

Actually, really accurate. Now that's better.

I noticed that your answer to a question determines the next question also. I've never taken a test like that.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. I changed some of mine just for the heck of it and got better results. Pretty interesting.

[Scheherazade]

Mmm. If I post what I'm tempted to post it will be toooo far out even for me, nothing sinister mind. I'll settle for the rather tentative observation that we seem to be quite different in terms of experience to have drawn the same result.

Zany test, suffice to say.

Interesting, I do not remember talking about my own experiences -internet or real life- here on the Forum. So, please do not rush to make any assumptions. You might be in for a surprise!

Having said that, it is a silly test, result of which changes depending on one's mood or the last food they have had; nothing to be taken seriously or read much into.

You're Inherit the Wind!
by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee
To you, the learning process is inherently about controversy. If people aren't having their minds stretched, how could they possibly be learning? This makes you a good but unpopular teacher, and the people around you are ready to make it a federal case. All you're asking them to do is evolve a little. But they would like you to be more creative. You would make an excellent lawyer, even though people think you love monkeys.

Lucky! Love that play.

This is what I got:

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.

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.

man I loved that book!

I came up with: 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.

Well now! I'd best read this book now, eh?

You're The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe!
by C.S. Lewis
You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed quite dramatically. For the better or for the worse, it is still hard to tell. Now it seems like winter will never end and you feel cursed. Soon there will be an epic struggle between two forces in your life and you are very concerned about a betrayal that could turn the balance. If this makes it sound like you're re-enacting Christian theological events, that may or may not be coincidence. When in doubt, put your trust in zoo animals.

This doesn't bode well for me.

I read my book (The Sound and the Fury) just to satisfy my curiousity... but it signified nothing, though!

Sounds a lot like me

Maybe the whole thing is just RANDOM to pique people's curiosity and get them to read a book that they might never have thought to? Hmmmm .... good ploy, though!

You're 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.
