Perpetually zany yet pacifistic and optimistic romantic seeks same.

During my morning coffee blog-around, I ran across a fun pair of quizzes thanks to my buddy Bob over at I Should Be Laughing.  I normally eschew the "who/what are you like" quizzes - since they tend to be pretty canned and generic after awhile.  But, being an avid reader, the idea of seeing which books my personality matched intrigued me.

There are two Book quizzes - Book and Book 2, not surprisingly.  What is unsettling is just how accurate both depictions really are.

Here are the results I received:




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.

You're Jane Eyre!

by Charlotte Bronte

Epic in scope and vision, you like looking at your own complete history. That said, your complete history is pretty much crazy. You seem to be followed by suitors, craziness, fires, and incredible turns of both good and bad fortune. Through it all, you persevere while maintaining adherence to your own somewhat middle-ground moral code. While you have confidence that everything will work out in the end, you sometimes wonder if it's worth it along the way. Oh sweet, sweet Jane.

Quiz 1 I am Herman Hesse's Siddhartha: You simply don't know what to believe, but you're willing to try anything once.etc, etc.

Quiz 2 Shel Silversten's Where the Sidewalk Ends.
Silly and crazy and kooky,
sometimes you can even be spooky.
You really like making folks laugh,
and you can do so more'n others by half.
You try to answer their questions,
or make fun of their indigestions,
but more than it all, through winter and fall,
you make the weirdest suggestions!

I haven't read either of these books. I kind of expected to associated with Calvin and Hobbes.
