I'll bite...

I was informed via EireDuck that a new book quiz was out... being the marketing man's dream that I can be, I went and took it.

You're The Importance of Being Earnest!
by Oscar Wilde
A fan of puns, mistaken identity, and other humoristic tropes, you have a flair for the dramatic. You embrace the convenience of a double-life, but use it for decidedly more mundane purposes than an international spy might. Ultimately, you prioritize humor over this deception and love over all of it, realizing how vital it is to make sacrifices to be happy. You have been known to mistake a baby for a novel, which is, after all, a rather novel predicament. You're willing to change your name and even major details about yourself to make someone else happy.
Take the Book Quiz II at the Blue Pyramid.

You know, I thought I had seen all the Ernest movies....

But Saying Ernest excaped me.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

Incidentally, I am A Wrinkle In Time

Which is kind cool. But weird.

You think that's weird?

I'm Jane Eyre!

You spend too much time hanging out with those zombies.

Inventive, clever, and perhaps too creative for your own good, you are widely admired. While most around you believe that science can only offer unmitigated improvement of their lives, you show them another side to technological advancement that is dangerous and downright scary. While this may sound like you're regressive and even retrograde, it really demonstrates that you're voicing important concerns with a world rapidly spinning out of control. There are those who believe you're melodramatic, but most people appreciate you for this entertaining streak. You really love Halloween.

Yay me!

I'm forever in love with Joan Greenwood, who played Gwendolen in the 1952 movie. Are you her or (maybe even better) Lady Bracknell?

I got The Count of Monte Cristo, which I've never even read! But I see there's a 1934 movie with Robert Donat which I also have no recollection of seeing either, so I'll have to check that out. I like the idea of being a count...

You're The Heart is a Lonely Hunter!
by Carson McCullers
You give hope to the hopeless, voice to the voiceless, and hearing to the deaf. Okay, maybe not that last one, but you are still quite the champion of the downtrodden and forgotten in society. You believe that everyone deserves love, though you note what a struggle it is for many to find it. Somehow it's never been that difficult for you, though. Pretty much everyone loves you as soon as they meet you. Which makes it all the more impressive that you're so empathetic. If you were a type of high school stereotype, you would be Goth.

I am awesome.

[Jennifer]

SMELL ALL OF YOU!!!! YOU REEK OF FABULOUSCITY!!!!

ZRM- I'm jealous.

Count Dan... :)

Thunder Eyre... :)

And for hdb... you show them another side to technological advancement that is dangerous and downright scary

I'd say that's an understatement.

And I can tell that SMcG knows what I'm feeling right now... I don't even have to say, he's that damn empathetic...

I'm not sure I'm either. I'm probably Ernest... blogging female/blogging cupcake...

[Snag]

I'm Earnest too. Very Earnest.

Holey moley. we made Jennifer all shouty.

I not have any fabulocity
You're Macbeth!
by William Shakespeare
Superstitious and possibly even paranoid, you are deeply interested in the occult. While you present as someone with a great deal of confidence and even arrogance, you know this front is fragile and relies on the strength of those who build you up. Without the support of those who seem unflinchingly loyal to you, you would be powerless against the strange events that have overtaken your life. While you like Halloween, you really shouldn't trust it. People would rather hear the word "fire" than your name in a crowded theater.

I hate tests, almost as much as I hate throwing up.

You're A Clockwork Orange!
by Anthony Burgess
Violent, angry, and deeply disturbed, you have a profound and frightening impact on those who meet you. Your rage seems somehow limitless, manifesting in bombastic torrents of hedonistic outbursts against anyone who randomly crosses your path. At the same time, despite the trail of destruction in your wake, you believe fervently that the preservation of free will is the most important aspect of humanity. Indeed, your ultimate desire is to show that no matter how bad a person is, they should have the right to choose to be bad. B-b-b-b-bad. You really hate throwing up.

[Jennifer]

LOL@Kiwi

I must now turn around 3 times after the mere thought of Kiwi's name...

Well fish, of course you are! Baaaaaad to the bone... no mellow book for you.

[almostinfamous]

i am romeo and juliet?

well where is she?

[Von]

How do you feel about that description?

[herr doktor bimler]

How do you feel about that description?

Von is Introduction to Psychoanalysis?

[herr doktor bimler]

Wait, wait. Fish speaks an awkward, macaronic hybrid of a language, superficially retaining the form of English but full of ugly neologisms, meant to remind us of the speaker's in-group status? I thought he was a scientist.

[Jennifer]

LOL@herrdoktor

And... aif... perhaps you are both. You need nothing to complete you!

[Andy]

"You think that's weird?

I'm Jane Eyre!"

Me Jane also. Although I can't say I've been pursued my many suitors (probably because I'm a guy), or, thankfully, fires. (That's what the blurb says should be happening.)

(I know guys can still be pursued by women, but in that case I don't think they would be called "suitors". I'm not sure what the appropriate term might be.)

[Jennifer]

Dressers?? :)

[herr doktor bimler]

Who is this "Karma Suitor" that the Frau Doktorin keeps going on about?

[Andy]

"Dressers??"

I'd kind of thought of that (although I imagined it being spelled "dressors", for consistency). For now, at least, women who pursue me are best described as "fantasies". But according to the blurb, it should all work out in the end.

[Jennifer]

:)

Andy- I was going to spell it dressor, but at the last minute... refrained.

[zombie rotten mcdonald]

POPULAR.

[Andy]

That's good, although I was thinking more in terms of what to call the women doing the pursuing. I don't know of any universally-accepted term for them, not that there necessarily needs to be..

[Jennifer]

POPULAR.

Leave it to ZRM to cut through the crap. :)

That's good, although I was thinking more in terms of what to call the women doing the pursuing.

Red-blooded??

[Andy]

I like that (although I wouldn't balk at being pursued by an attractive Vulcan woman either..).

[herr doktor bimler]

I was thinking more in terms of what to call the women doing the pursuing.

Eumenides. Teh Kindly Ones, if you prefer.

[Kathleen]

I got Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, because I yearn for the days when "men were men and could have multiple wives".

[Jennifer]

K- that is exactly what I would have picked for you. You've always struck me as the multiple wife type...
