What book are you?

[Frank the Tank]

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.


Pyro and I are long-lost twins. Pretty acurate for me!

You're 1984!
by George Orwell
You have this uncanny feeling that you're always being watched. Thus life has become a bit of a show as you try to portray yourself as much more reputable than you actually are. All around you, people seem to accept an unending stream of lies and propaganda without flinching. Your only hope may be a star-crossed love affair, but pain seems stonger than love. If you have any older brothers, be very wary of them.

Pretty accurate for me, since this is my favourite book.

Read it probably 5 times in the past 3 years, plus I own the movie based on the book which is out of print and extremly hard to find for a decent price.

Same as you Firefly.

You're 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 would say this is accurate enough. Good thread!

You're A Prayer for Owen Meany!
by John Irving
Despite humble and perhaps literally small beginnings, you inspire faith in almost everyone you know. You are an agent of higher powers, and you manifest this fact in mysterious and loud ways. A sense of destiny pervades your every waking moment, and you prepare with great detail for destiny fulfilled. When you speak, IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS!

I will have to pick this up sometime!

When I find the book, and read it, I'll loan it to you. It doesn't lie when it says no one has heard of you.... it's unavailable at any Chapters in the city.

He's still an odd fellow. He fell in love with his eventual wife because she gave him a hand job on their first date while they were walking around town.

Just walking around town, eh? Sounds like she was a bit odd too.

I couldn't believe it at first. I read it in a book of short stories by Christopher Hitchens and my mom confirmed it (PhD as an English teacher)

Wouldn't you?

You're Siddhartha!

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.

Are there better reasons to fall in love?

(I kid, I kid! FWIW, I agree that Joyce was odd--but he was also a genius of the highest order--second only among his contemporaries to Gertrude Stein, IMO.)

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.

[JimmytheT]

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.


Hhhmmm, I find do not this is accurate at all.

Actually, it gave me different questions...

You were just looking for some decent clothes when everything changed quite dramatically. For the better or for the worse, it is still hard to tell.

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 you're re-enacting Christian theological events, that may or may not be coincidence. When in doubt, put your trust in zoo animals.

I haven't seen or read this... now I think I might give it a go. Good thread

We got the same one!

It's a good book. It was my favourite as a kid, it's one of my favourites now.

You're Adventures of Huckleberry Finn!
by Mark Twain
With an affinity for floating down the river, you see things in black and white. The world is strange and new to you and the more you learn about it, the less it makes sense. You probably speak with an accent and others have a hard time understanding you and an even harder time taking you seriously. Nevertheless, your adventurous spirit is admirable. You really like straw hats.

Cool, I got the first Mark Twain result!

[Kaon]

I'm not totally sure this is accurate, but I can see that no one else got this one, so at least it's different. For 6 questions though it does get close in some areas.

You're Anarchy, State, and Utopia!
by Robert Nozick
If it were up to you, there would probably be no government at all. But then you'd have to deal with there being no government, and nobody likes that. So you've decided that hiring a few security guards is okay. Getting rid of that nasty tax collector would sure be nice, though. He keeps getting in the way of you making the money you so richly deserve! Everyone who believes in you happens to be fairly well off.
