On second thought...

How about if I go first. I got "Les Miserables" by Victor Hugo.

I REALLY wanted "Ulysses"!

OK--Now you go, Az. No excuses.

P.S. My wife is "Anne of Green Gables." She couldn't be happier!

I know all about your wife now...

The book choice is terrible...I mean seriously, I've hidden myself in the corner so many times when my siblings were watching that movie....

But it is pretty much right now. I hate to brag, but people do like me.

You're A Theory of Justice!
by John Rawls
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.

Sounds like a plan.

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.

This is quite accurate (except for the 'organized' part, although I do enjoy organization systems):

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.

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.

So you're the person we need as our "Phone a Friend" on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Now I know.

I can't believe I'm the only one who gets the Anne of Green Gables one...

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 Siddhartha!
by Hermann Hesse
You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try anything once. Western values, Eastern values, hedonism and minimalism, you've spent some time in every camp. But you still don't have any idea what camp you belong in. This makes you an individualist of the highest order, but also really lonely. It's time to chill out under a tree. And realize that at least you believe in ferries

Boy that doesn't describe me at all.

Azure · 02-21-2007, 11:23 PM

I did it again and got the same one as Kipperfan.

Hmmm...I think I'll put it on my list as well.

Surely can't leave out a book that describes me!

This was mine too, but I forgot to copy it.

I read this a long time ago, but have completely forgotton how it was. Maybe the weird guy in the neighbourhood has protected my car from theft for the past 7 months in downtown vancouver. With a stereo.

....could also be because its an 87 chevy wagon.

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.

Creepy.
