 Posted: Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:12 pm Post subject: Which Book Are You Quiz? |
 |
|
Have fun with this book quiz: http://bluepyramid.org/ia/bquiz.htm
Answer questions about yourself and the quiz decides which book you are most like! You can take different book tests.
The first one I did said:
| Quote: | 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. |
I do have it in my book collection too

This is me....
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.
Mmmm.....feel old now.  |

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 worried about you too. |

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.
I've never read this book, but have always meant to - do you think it is a sign? That was a cool quiz!

Just found the animal quiz and I'm a hyena
Also I'm Germany - I've apparently had a dreadful past but am an incredibly nice person now.
Thanks Glynis for brightening my day. |

This is me - a bit spooky! Now I need to get this book and read it - thank Glynis for increasing tbr pile!!!!!
You're The Giver!
by Lois Lowry
While you grew up with a sheltered childhood, you're pretty sure everyone around you is even more sheltered. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, you were tapped on the shoulder and transported to the real world. This made you horrified by your prior upbringing and now you're tormented by how to reconcile these two lives. Ultimately, the struggle comes down to that old free will issue. Choose wisely.

Apparently I am
Costa Rica!
You're about as peaceful as anyone on the planet, a real dyed-in-the-wool pacifist. And why not? No one really poses much of a threat to you and everything seems to work out, no matter how much violence and insanity rages all around you. So you relax and appreciate nature and culture while the rest of the world carries on their petty disagreements. If only everyone could follow your example...
LOL

You're Iceland!
Most people think you're a cold and forbidding person, but you're actually naturally warm and inviting. People just get scared off by what other people have led them to believe about you. You keep to yourself for the most part, and are pretty good at fending for yourself, especially if water's involved. More people should visit you and find out the truth.
Well I am a Cancerian!

Thank you, Glynis. That's my girl! Nearly three now but that's last Halloween so just turned two then. We're starting on Halloween decorations tomorrow and a final search for outfits for her and her 6 year old brother (who doesn't want anything spooky but a Ferrari Pit Stop outfit!). We have ways of making him change his mind..... |

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."
Spooky....
