find out here: Blue Pyramid Book Quiz Me? I'm Ulysses by James Joyce...hard as that is to believe!
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 The Sound and the Fury! by William Faulkner 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.

You're A People's History of the United States! by Howard Zinn After years of listening to other peoples' lies, you decided you've had enough. Now you're out to tell it like it is, with all the gory details and nothing left out. Instead of respecting leaders, you want to know what the common people have to offer. But this revolution still has a long way to go, and you're not against making a little profit while you wait. Honesty is your best policy.

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.

You're The Hobbit! by J.R.R. Tolkien All you wanted was a nice cup of tea when some haggard crazy old man came into your life and told you it was time to do something with yourself. Now you're all conflicted about whether to stick with your stay-at-home lifestyle or follow this crazy person into the wild. While you're very short and a little furry, you seem to be surrounded by an even greater quantity of short folks lately. Try not to lose your ring, but keep its value in perspective!

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 The Dictionary! by Merriam-Webster You're one of those know-it-all types, with an amazing amount of knowledge at your command. People really enjoy spending time with you in very short spurts, but hanging out with you for a long time tends to bore them. When folks really need an authority to refer to, however, you're the one they seek. You're an exceptional speller and very well organized. this is a REALLY scary quiz! i like to read the dictionary!

It says.... You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed quite drastically. 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 your re-enacting Christian theological events, that may or may not be coincidence. When in doubt, put your trust in zoo animals. I don't know about all that but I do love the book!

Oh wow, now that's something to think about! And I love the book too, btw - that's why I asked. Did you know they're filming a big budget movie series of the Chronicles of Narnia? (Oops, I almost wandered into a movie discussion there, lol.) P.S. I occasionally "read" the dictionary too. But my spelling is atrocious.

I saw that Calamity. My kids loved the movies that they did on PBS. We had to watch them all the time.

You're The Mists of Avalon! by Marion Zimmer Bradley 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. Looks like an interesting book, but I disagee with their assessment. Could care less about the Kennedy's. And I always had more male friends than female... I wonder what it says for Anne of Green Gables? I was hoping to be an Austen or Dickens book!

Yay! I'm not alone! Hey Eliz, didn't we score the same on another test too? ETA...okay, I looked at a few of the tests. We both scored as forensic scientists. But I thought there was one where you and I were the only ones to score the same.....

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. lol

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

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 honesty 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". (...hmmmm...I must agree, this has many aspects of Eggie....even the "E"...LOL!!)

LOL I'm laughing at mine, because I teach people every day... I'm not sure this one is accurate, 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.
