If you were a book, what book would you be? The Book Quiz claims I would be this book:
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!
Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.
Okay, this is soooo NOT me. "A sense of destiny" does not pervade my every waking moment. You know what pervades my every waking moment? Running the opposite direction from destiny.
And, hey, HUMBLE beginnings? Suckmyballs, John Irving.
Have to say, not a very bright quiz. I came out as James Joyce's Ulysses, which I most definitely am not and she said, yes, yes, moving among mooonbeams and caressing yes she said and he moved that old Shakespaherian rag dat dattat datum

My husband would agree that I do tend to go on and on. Perhaps James Joyce's Ulysses does fit me in that sense.

Tsk! of disgust. It is six random questions, so you might be a different book each time. And I truly thought this would "Look into my soul" as the author of In Her Shoes claims. Because internet quizzes can do that.
The second time, though, it was closer to the mark with Prufrock and Other Observations by fellow Saint Louisian T.S. Eliot.
"Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons."
I don't know why I find these quizzes worth even a moment of my time. I should just claim I'm still an INTP and leave it at that.

Siddhartha.
Has anyone every actually read this book outside a college literature class?
I like Ellen's book better. And Erin's, and I've never even met her.
