Quiz- What Book Are You?

Find out what book you are here.

I am:

Watership Down!by Richard AdamsThough 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.

This is pretty awesome. I'm "A Theory of Justice" by John Rawls. One of my favorite classes in college was entirely based around this book. I still look at the book occasionally (though I lent it to fishfrog, who still has it.) Great quiz.

In the beginning, you lived in a town. The town had many problems! Rather than moving, you decided to come up with the idea for the best town ever. Going all the way back to the original position, you created the idea for the best town ever! Lo and behold, the best town ever looked almost identical to the town you lived in. You decided to stay in the town. Now you resent people mistaking your refined thought experiments for "the wall of stupidity" in high school debate rounds.

I am The Sound and the Fury, by William Faulkner.

I've never read this book, but I did read A Light in August (or something to that effect). Honestly, I didn't much care for the book. My discription follows:

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.

That's a bit depressing, fishfrog. Sorry. Also, it seems totally unlike you in every way.

My suggestion: go back through the quiz, Choose-your-own-adventure-style, until you get one you like.

Rawls was the first one I got. But when I went back and answered a question differently that I had been waffling on, it sent me into a different series of questions and I ended up with Ender's Game.

HMM, I am going to have to check myself out of the library and see what I think of myself. I am Loosely Based!
by Storey Clayton
While most people haven't heard of you, you're a really good and interesting person. Rather clever and witty, you crack a lot of jokes about the world around you. You do have a serious side, however, where your interest covers the homeless and the inequalities of society. You're good at bringing people together, but they keep asking you what your name means.

I'm the The Poisonwood Bible!
by Barbara Kingsolver

I actually own this book (and read it).

Here is my description:

Deeply rooted in a religious background, you have since become both isolated and schizophrenic. You were naively sure that your actions would help people, but of course they were resistant to your message and ultimately disaster ensued. Since you can see so many sides of the same issue, you are both wise beyond your years and tied to worthless perspectives. If you were a type of waffle, it would be Belgian.

I'm torn by my favourite part being that I'm schizophrenic or a Belgian waffle.

All I can say is Wow. I had no idea. Squishy and Cster had better keep Mster away from me.

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.
