Which book are you?

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey

You're crazy. This has led people to attempt to confine you to a safe place so that you don't pose a danger to yourself or others. You feel like you pose a great danger to the man (or maybe the woman) or whatever else is keeping you down. But most of the time, you just end up being observed. Were you crazy before you were confined?

...I seriously think I made a mistake...

The Guns of August?

Ha ha ha Oh Gosh
Thanks for reviving this one Scheherazade, now people may start looking at me funny!

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.

I'm the first one to be Catch-22!

You're Catch-22!
by Joseph Heller
Incredibly witty and funny, you have a taste for irony in all that you see. It seems that life has put you in perpetually untenable situations, and your sense of humor is all that gets you through them. These experiences have also made you an ardent pacifist, though you present your message with tongue sewn into cheek. You could coin a phrase that replaces the word "paradox" for millions of people.

[The Comedian]

Pha! This is what it said about me.

You're Prufrock and Other Observations!
by T.S. Eliot
Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.

I'm no pansy-waist like this dolt -- I do dare to eat the peach. And let the juice run down my chin too!

You're Love in the Time of Cholera
by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
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.

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.

I never liked hats and know I've found out why.

[Scheherazade]

Amazing. No matter how many times I take this quiz, I come up as The Sound and The Fury and can't help wondering what answers you guys are giving to come up as such different books.

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 haven't read this... but the possibilities almost seem endless, and so few questions really. Heh.

But I think this is pretty accurate, except for the focus on Europe.

[Tsuyoiko]

I'm Ulysses, which is quite strange since that's the book I'm reading at the moment

[Amundsen]

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.


Interesting. I have to read it.

Prufrock
"Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic
and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying
to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really
heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons"

Yes, I could be a Prufrock - "I have heard the mermaids singing each to each, I do not think that they will sing to me" "I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be, Am an attendant lord."
Though I do not think the quizmaster understood the poem - not dark and brooding, not a hopeless effort - that is not what he meant at all.

[Scheherazade]

Take the quiz!

Not a quiz about books -- a quiz to see which book you "are." I thought it appropriate.

I'm Dune now. And they say that people never change...

*Go figure I'd be a book I'd never even heard of.

And of course, taking the quiz again, I end up being one of my family's favorite books, though I haven't had a chance to read it yet:

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.
