I Never Ever Win at Quizzes, Sheesh
Depraved and immoral…great. The thing is, the questions for this are things like: Do you like Oprah Winfrey? Do you feel old?
You’re Lolita!
by Vladimir Nabokov
Considered by most to be depraved and immoral, you are obsessed with
sex. What really tantalizes you is that which deviates from societal standards in every
way, though you admit that this probably isn’t the best and you’re not sure what causes
this desire. Nonetheless, you’ve done some pretty nefarious things in your life, and
probably gotten caught for them. The names have been changed, but the problems are real.
Please stay away from children.
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
Be prepared, y’all. I’m dipping my toes in next week to write about my crazy and my feeeeeeeeeeeeelings.

I am Mother Night:
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.

Strange questions, I have to say. Mine was 100 years of Solitude LOL!

It thinks I’m The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley, a book I would likely never read because I am sick, sick, sick of take-offs on the Arthurian legends which have, IMO, been done to death, and besides, I strongly prefer authors who make up their own stories from scratch, insofar as that is ever truly possible. Since I don’t hate myself, I find it unlikely that I “am” one of the things I am most likely to snub on a bookshelf, right after those ten secrets to a perfect life kind of books, chicken soup books that don’t actually have good recipes for chicken soup in them, porn that isn’t about food or gardening, and the Bible.
Meanwhile, my real answer to most of the questions was “neither,” but this was not an option. The only thing I could say with any certainty is that I am not concise. So I wouldn’t take the Lolita reference too much to heart.

It thinks you are the Mists of Avalon, that’s actually a book I LOVED in my teen years. I have a harder time trying to read it now.
Yep, most of my answers were “neither” or “I don’t care.”
And YES, chicken soup books should have recipes in them for soup, secrets for a perfect life should have recipes for brownies in them, and porn should be about how to make ice cream.

Now that I think of it, I probably would have devoured the entire Bradley oeuvre in my teen years, had it existed. But, see, that was before I got burned out on take-offs of the Arthurian legends, etc. There was another book of hers I read in my 30s called Firestarter that was about Cassandra and the fall of Troy. I so almost liked it. I was just too damn old for it — but not by much.
I think I’m really a cross between Possession and The Road to Wellville. How ’bout you?

If it makes you feel any better, I was Ulysses.

I am Hesse’s Siddhartha. That’s not so bad, but the site seemed to think that this indicates my theological/philosophical sluttiness and that I have no direction in my life. Nice.

I’m THE LION, THE WITCH, AND THE WARDROBE.
It was so good to see you again, Melissa!!! I didn’t know you were back. Thanks for coming to visit.
I’ll have to do some backward reading to see where you’ve been and what you’ve been up to.

Hi… new here. Found you on the RFT. So, I’m here saying hello to a fellow St. Louis blogger. :)
And, I’m a Lolita too. These quizzes baffle me in how they can summarize a person’s attitude or a faction of their life in under 8 questions. Bizarre, yet oddly addicting.
Nice blog, glad I found it.
Cheers,
Jami
