Defending the Truth

You're Mother Night!
by Kurt Vonnegut
Nobody knows what to believe about you, and you know least of all. You spent most of your time convinced that the ends justify the means, but your means were, well, downright mean! And the end is nigh. Meanwhile all you want is to travel back in time, if not to change, then to just delight in the way it used to be. You are who you pretend to be. Oh yes, you're the great pretender.

HUH?

ROTFLMAOL!!! OOOOOK!!!

You're Godel, Escher, Bach!
by Douglas Hofstadter
Despite being interested in things like mathematical theory and the secret lives of numbers, you're actually quite popular. You carry on great dialogues, though you keep asking people about their heel. When faced with a flight of stairs, you always have great difficulty knowing where you'll end up, and have been known to consult a calculator. Despite these oddities, what you say is relevant to the future. Though the day Deep Blue beat Kasparov, you sure were surprised!

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.

Hmm... I wonder what book would have come up had I picked Armadillos instead of Rabbits on that last question? LOL

It is a funny quiz, isn't it Chris? I was hoping to see how many books would actually come up. I was hoping for Life of Pi, cos I love that story.

Anyhow, I just re-took the test and I only changed one answer. All the rest to be true to who I am, I could not change. But one question could go either way I suppose, not having very strong feelings at all, and that was whether or not I like Oprah. So I switched my answer on that, and now this comes up!

I don't know how whether or not I like Oprah could turn me into a sleep around... LOL

It sure is a funny quiz, OD! I changed the last answer about whether I liked rabbits or armadillos better, and it came up with:

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!

Chris, you are truly a spiritual inspiration to any who are blessed enough to know you. You truly are that agentof higher powers. And to me at least, you speak the message clearly, and not so loud as more in such a way as to gain attention. I am glad for your voice here at the DtT!

You're Siddhartha
by Hermann Hesse
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.

Heh, kinda appropriate really.

Why thank you, OD! I am so glad you came back to DtT!

Snap Yoji - I came up with that one as well ! I am going to have to read it now - been meaning to for some time.

I like the first line.

Not sure about the rest.
