My result for the Book Quiz (which identifies which book you resemble the most, apparently): http://bluepyramid.org/ia/alice.htm

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.

Can't say that this is accurate, but I've always loved how wacky and clever Alice in Wonderland is. :D

And LOL at the advice on avoiding hat shops (especially considering how I almost never visit them anyway).

I got Ulysses by James Joyce. Which I think is the same thing I got when I took the quiz before ages ago.

I've never read it. Maybe I should.

Ulysses? That's interesting. I've heard that the book has great characters, but I find the writing style hard to follow (There aren't anyquotation marks to indicate speech, and the grammar is hard to understand). I have heard good things about it though.

Why did the quiz say you resembled Ulysses?

I think it was my answers about stream of consciousness and being long-winded, which I totally am.


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.

I guess I'm vulgar if you count writing explicit material? But I don't dream of being a Greek folk hero.

I have a feeling I couldn't make it through the book.
